The Halfmoon Cottage is an awesome place to stay if you want to explore Akaroa and the surrounding area. Cornelius&Margo are very friendly and helpful, they can give you heaps of advice regarding short or long walking tracks, tours, neighbours and everything you could possibly want to know. All the facilities were clean and comfortable, we had a really great stay, although it was too short. Would recommend at least three nights, Akaroa peninsula and the Halfmoon cottage is definitely worth your time!
