Perfectly located just steps from restaurants, shops, and Akaroa Bay. I liked having a dedicated parking spot right beside the apartment (no fighting with tourists for street parking). Stocked with cooking necessities (milk, sugar, butter, salt, tea, coffee, etc.). We enjoyed going on the Pohatu penguin tour as well as Ecoseakers Hectors dolphin tour. There's also a small museum in town that has free admission (donations appreciated).
