David was there to greet our family when we arrived and was kind enough to even chill a complimentary bottle of white for our arrival!

The cottage was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the gas kitchen and steaks for dinner on the BBQ.

A beautiful property with the hosts just across the way if you needed anything but supremely private all the same. The main street of Akaroa is literally a 3 minute drive over the hill.

Easy to find and an easy place to stay. My wife and I along with our 2 kids were thrilled to spent 2 nights at The Gate House Cottage.
