Historic Shipping Office - Akaroa, hotel in Akaroa

Historic Shipping Office - Akaroa features stunning water views over Akaroa Harbor. Indulge in a waterfront dinner at the on-site restaurant and bar.

The shipping office had a lot of charm and was centrally located. It was a bit funky, but in a good way. Lots of space to spread out and organize while on our road trip.

    My Partner and I have visited Akaroa three times, the views are absolutely beautiful, the French heritage is evident, gardens are well maintained around the village. There are lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants. You must sail on the Fox II to see the dolphins, penguins and seals and learn about the local history. Outstanding! Very walkable town and also some good hiking.

    Akaroa is a must-visit township, it has some amazing cafes/restaurants, and the food is great and varied. Some of them have both inside and outside seating so it is lovely to take advantage of that on a nice day. There are also some great wee shops to visit where you can find a treasure of two. We found a gin-tasting cafe that is a must-visit when you are there and also an Indian Restaurant whose food was amazing. All the shops and cafes are within walking distance if your accommodation is in town. There are some great walks to go on and we also went swimming with the dolphins which is an experience I highly recommend when you are in Akaroa.

    We loved the quaint historic town.

    We loved the quaint historic town. We loved its French flavour. The cafe’s and restaurants outstanding especially Ma Maison where we had the best meal ever. The food, the flavours and the welcoming staff, outstanding! We had breakfast at The Common, again fabulous. We loved walking round the bay to the quay. Everyone was so friendly and happy to stop and talk. At the end of the quay was the prize, the beautiful pearl shop, an absolute must to visit. We can’t wait to return. Already planning a longer trip.

    Akaroa is a lovely historic town with many lovely old cottages and a beautiful harbour. Lots of things to do eg. dolphin watching, nearby cheese factory and winery, Eastern Bays Scenic Mail Run. Lovely cafes and art galleries.

    I have been a regular visitor as my French ancestors founded it. The only thing that stops me coming more often is that dangerous-feeling hill up and down. Nice, quiet (mostly) place that focuses on food, events and nature. Need to put in a lot more effort to add more genuine French flavour to shops and activities. A simple Bonjour is not too difficult. Akaroa's true French nature is being dumbed down by new arrivals who are only interested in commerical gain.

    Lovely big room with a balcony overlooking Akaroa harbour. Very comfy beds - king sized main bed plus a single bed. Lovely large bathroom. A kitchenette - toaster, electric kettle, microwave, hotplates and all the things you need to prepare a simple meal. I left my Kindle in the room and the hotel contacted me straight away and have sent it via courier to my next location! Above and beyond - thank you :)

    2 bedroom waterfront villa with beautiful views. We stayed upstairs which is a flight of stairs no lift. Room had 2 balconies to sit out on. One off the lounge room and one off the bedroom connecting. Had a lovely kitchenette, wifi, comfortable bed. In town location with a 5 minute walk to restaurants and the wharf for boat trips. This is our second stay here in beautiful Akaroa.

    Really? 5 star Michelin rating for our breakfasts. View from the B&B toward Akaroa delightful. The hosts were both helpful with touring advice and very pleasant. We left feeling sad to leave them both. Note: The entire B&B is spotless and beautifully furnished. They are the place to stay on the Banks Peninsula.

    The cottage was clean and comfortable, and is located in a very quiet location. “Tranquil and Relaxing” is very true. You can hear all the birds sing. It had everything we needed. The heater worked very well. The bathroom was spacious. It was unfortunate that we could only stay one night in that area.

    HONESTY! As I got a message from bookings after I checked out that the house cleaner found my phone in my room. After a few calls with hotel staff, they went an extra effort to help get the phone returned to me. Many thx for that. My stay at the Grand Hotel was pleasant, and the food was good.

    Stunning location - very quiet and quaint. Awesome to have use of the pool on a hot day (though we did have to clean it ourselves!), beds were extremely comfy and the property itself was just stunning. Nice quick 5 min drive into Akaroa so perfect for a relaxing getaway.

    Having been there twice before and having walked all round Akaroa looking at other hotels etc. we decided that this was probably the best place to stay. One main advantage was that you could swim from the premises and hire boats as well.
