Camellia Cottage is a sweet little house part of a small complex of properties conveniently close to the harbour and restaurants and about a 10 minute walk from the shops. It has a shared garden at the back and a porch at the front where you can catch the evening sun although it is not very private.
The bedrooms upstairs are lovely and comfortable and a lot of thought has gone in to making them attractive. Downstairs is one compact living area. The kitchen has everything that you need to prepare a meal but if you are staying for more than a few days and want to cook for 4 the lack of preparation space and cooking facilities may a bit challenging. The bathroom is downstairs next to the kitchen.
Zelda was a very attentive and helpful host preparing us for our upcoming stay and providing lots of information.
Akaroa is a beautiful place to visit and if you were staying a few days and using the local facilities there isn’t a more convenient or pleasant place to stay.
