A great location with street window overlooking perfectly blooming roses and a glimpse of the harbor. Self check-in was easy and parking nearby. We only had one night in Akaroa, but we were winding down after a month-long trip and happy to spend a fair amount of time soaking in the perfect weather from a harborside bench. Was at first disappointed that a cruise ship was coming in the morning, but it ended up providing great people-watching opportunities as the busyness picked up a bit. Lovely harbor town, very beautiful and friendly. Great stay.
