The Studio Akaroa is situated in Akaroa. Guests staying at this apartment have access to a fully equipped kitchenette.

With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, this apartment is equipped with a flat-screen TV.

Christchurch is 80 km from the apartment. Christchurch International Airport is 86 km from the property.

Very clean, excellent position and good condition like brand new. There is no real ability to self cater as there is very limited cooking facilities, but that was clear in the property description, so no surprise. Private allocated parking right adjacent to the entrance , and that was a bonus. The property looks straight on to the pavement but the reflective widows, blinds and curtains (for night) made this like plus as it was fun to watch people right outside and at the cafe across the road. It was totally quiet at night and very comfortable bed.

Exceptionally beautiful surroundings, remote yet close to town…. The bird song here at dawn was one of the highlights of my trip. The hosts are friendly and attentive. The view is from a high hillside overlooking Akaroa, very special. The lodge room was entirely unique, especially the sweet loft room ( for fit adults or children only) .

Jane was an exceptional host and a fantastic cook, breakfast was an absolute highlight closely behind the amazing view of Akaroa Harbour across to French Farm Bay from the dining room table. Eggs from Jane's chickens, stewed fruit and a fabulous cooked breakfast... no need for lunch!! The bird life in the garden (bellbirds spotted everywhere) was just magical.
