The house is a nice cabin-like beach house with modern bathroom and a complete kitchen. The house is a close walk to town, and yet out of the crowds. Its up on a hill and surrounding by greenery, with lots of windows - lovely.
Annette was easy to reach, and flexible. Bed was comfy. We had a good stay, and would stay again if we go back to Akaroa.
I also recommend a wildlife tour with CoastUpClose on the wharf - a smaller boat with a captain who has worked in the harbour much of his life, and is very friendly and entertaining.
