Spent 2 days at La Rochelle and it was amazing. Clean comfortable and spacious room. We stayed on the ground floor which we requested. Nic helped us get information on the dolphin cruise and by mentioning that we were staying with them we received a discount. As it was the long weekend we couldn’t extend our stay we them, however Nic helped us book other accommodation. If you are coming to Akaroa stay here but be quick as I am sure they will be booked out. Thanks Nic and Kerry you helped make our holiday to New Zealand a 5 star experience.

This has been a lovely place to stay in on our vacation. The room was very comfortable and very clean and had a small balcony where we could relax surrounded by trees to the sound of a stream and birds chirping. The owner lady was very kind and helpful. I very much recommend this lodging!
