Great place, terrible service from Bachcare. This apartment was very close to the Akaroa waterfront (about 50 meters) and the pharmacy, food places, etc. The bed was very big and towels/linens, and cooking utensils were provided (only one set of towels, though there’s a washer and dryer which are really useful). We couldn’t get the oven to work but the cooktop and microwave worked perfectly. This place gets a lot of sun (and the bedroom is upstairs) which can make it very very hot, so just be aware of that if you’re going there over summer. You also get one parking spot too. This is a great little place in an excellent location. The biggest negative was dealing with Bachcare. We weren’t sent instructions about how to access the key or what the code for the lockbox was. We sent multiple emails, voicemails, and messages through the Airbnb app and got no response at all. After flying to the South Island for our honeymoon the day of check in, we got very lucky when we dialled the line meant for property owners and managed to speak to someone who was eventually able to get us the key code. It was very stressful and, from what I’ve heard in the news, we were extremely fortunate to get a response at all. Not sure if Bachcare will improve but keep it in mind if you’re booking this property in the future.
