French Bay House

So delighted to stay in this traditional old school bed and breakfast. Rhonda and Wal were gracious hosts and great cooks. A full cooked breakfast is included along with complimentary fruit, tea and coffee throughout the day. A glass of wine or beer is complimentary at a time of your choosing during your stay. We stayed in Onawe room which has very sloping ceilings, so if you’re average height or tall, you’d probably be better in a different room. We’re shorties, so was fine for us. Parking is on the street or in driveway behind, and was never an issue. Location is in the quieter end of town but an easy flat walk to everything. Really enjoyed our stay here.

This is a really beautifully kept late 19th century French-style cottage in the heart of Akaroa. Wal and Tom provide a lovely warm welcome and amazing breakfasts. The room was very comfortable and surprisingly easy to cool even with sun beating down. And Akaroa is a super place- just wish we’d had more time there. Sitting in the porch was a real treat.

Beautiful home. Delicious breakfast and fabulous hosts!! Perfect location and fabulous accommodations! We would definitely stay here again. The house was so warm and inviting. The beds were splendid. We felt right at home. They had a beautiful fire for us when we arrived. Truly an amazing place to stay!
