Units are clean and
smart at this modern 12-unit motel. They all have kitchenettes, but given that they're so
close to Akaroa's waterfront cafe and restaurant strip, you needn't worry about using
them.

If it were in France we'd call
this lovely wooden house belle époque
,
but given it's in Akaroa let's stick with Edwardi-
an. Either way, this luxury B&B is
magnifique
. The two rooms in the main house have a
discreetly French feel, while the spacious boathouse is nautically themed. All have sub-
lime views.

Tucked away along a quiet street and
behind gorgeous gardens, this lovely 1898 house has been converted into a luxurious
B&B. The only one of the four rooms without an en suite compensates with a large
private bathroom with a clawfoot tub just across the hall.

Posh enough to be a B&B but budget-friendly, this relaxed hostel is perched in farmland
on a secluded river estuary. There's a general store (and a beach) just a short walk away,
but it's best to bring your own ingredients for the flash kitchen.
