Or perhaps take a scenic cruise around Akaroa Harbour, host to amazing sea mammals and birdlife, including the world's smallest and rarest dolphins, the Hector's Dolphin, New Zealand fur seals and white-flippered penguins. Everything you need for a romantic escape awaits at Fantail Cottage!

Beautiful location but disappointing stay

Outside windows were stained and covered with cobwebs, gatden needs some trimming so you can enjoy the view. No wifi network at all. Cobwebs and spiders all through the inside and very dusty. Sticky surfaces. This place really needed a good clean. Location was beautiful and only took a small walk to get into town. We had booked for two nights but only atayed one. Definitely wish we had booked somewhere else.
