Originally built in 1863, this registered historic home is a perfect combination of comfort and character. Timber floorboards welcome you inside, with open-plan living comprising the heart of the home.

Enjoy the comfort of the leather corner couch, while the space effortlessly flows through to the dining-kitchen space. The formal dining set will ensure hearty family meals, while the modern kitchen reflects the historic character of the home.

A five-minute stroll takes you to Akaroa’s main strip where you’ll find an array of historic buildings and local amenities. Venture beyond to the stunning French Bay, where you can enjoy a meal at a handful of waterfront cafes and restaurants.
