Akiko was very easy to reach, left a lot of information on the bedside table about the local area and made us feel more than welcome to reach out if need be.
An absolutely stunning location, the lack of kitchen is clearly communicated and more than made up for with the view of basically the entire bay and gorgeous clawfooted tub.
With a 20-30 minute walk away from the ferry to Lyttleton (great restaurants, many vegan options) and an easy to access 4-square and fish 'n chip shop just up the road you'll definitely have more than enough food/alcohol to make your stay very comfortable.
The heater was very efficient if it got chilly and again, the view was amazing.
Made for a rather romantic, relaxing getaway for my partner and I.
