About this property

The Boathouse - Akaroa Holiday Home

  • With views that will take your breath away, or as the French would say 'à couper le souffle.' The Boathouse is an ideal spot for couples wanting to explore the French town of Akaroa.

    A classic design with a modern twist. Feel at ease as you sip on a glass of wine at your dining table with a picturesque view of French Bay. Relax and unwind in style with modern furnishings and artwork that create an easy living mood.

    Complete with all your essentials, from Wi-Fi to prepare your itinerary to air conditioning to keep you comfortable all year round and a smart TV to enjoy your evenings with a couple of TV shows.

    50m to the beach and just a bit further to the local eateries and attractions. Head out and explore New Zealand's sole French settlement. Take the 3-minute walk to visit the Akaroa Museum or stroll down the garden of art at 'The Giants House' just a 10-minute walk up the road. If you want something a little more adventurous, head on out and try out the dolphin cruise.

    For your next visit to Akaroa, make The Boathouse your home away from home!
    Please note that the super king bed can be unzipped and set up as two single beds. Please make a request upon booking if required.

    Please note that the garage is not for guest use.
