You can’t beat the location of this clean and comfortable apartment. The beach, several restaurants, a pharmacy, and even the movie theater are within a block. Almost all of Akaroa’s commercial district is within a 10 minute walk. Parking is immediately adjacent, there are lots of windows and the space is well-maintained. Mandy was easily accessible and assisted quickly with a couple of questions—and she baked muffins!
Quick notes:
- this is not a luxury unit, nor is it charged as one. small upgrades in furnishings, pillows and kitchen supplies would have merited five stars.
- there is no unit number (that I could see). it’s the unit on the ground floor adjacent to the parking spot.
- you will hear alarms in town indicating a drill (or actual call) for the volunteer emergency crew. not a cause for alarm, but it might startle you the first time.
Do visit Ratatouille for a fabulous (higher end) meal, Bach for a nice light breakfast and Harbar for happy hour. French Peak was our favorite winery, and includes a lovely drive around the bay.
Overall an very good experience and one we’d happily repeat.
