About this property

Akaroa Upper Deck - French inspired retreat

🌿 Akaroa Upper Deck — French-Coastal Charm Above the Waterfront



Welcome to Akaroa Upper Deck, a light-filled, lovingly styled two-bedroom retreat perched across Levels 2 and 3 of a Church Street townhouse. Wrapped in crisp whites, gentle French-inspired touches, and a calm coastal palette, this is a place where holiday ease meets boutique charm.



Just a stone’s throw from the waterfront — with cafés, little boutiques, restaurants, and Akaroa’s iconic French pastries moments away — it’s the perfect escape for couples, friends, or small families wanting a peaceful yet wonderfully central stay.



✨ The Space



Spread across two sunlit upper levels, the home flows effortlessly for relaxing, dining, and lingering over long holiday mornings.

Level 2 – Living, Dining & Balcony

Light-drenched open-plan living with soft textures and a hint of French flair

Bright, well-equipped kitchen for breezy holiday meals

Dining space opening onto your private balcony — ideal for a cheeky cuppa or sunset wine

Additional toilet on this level for extra convenience

Public laundry directly across the road

One off-street car park tucked just behind the townhouses



Level 3 – Bedrooms & Bathroom

Two serene bedrooms styled in crisp whites with a gentle French-coastal vibe

Modern main bathroom with walk-in shower and toilet

Peaceful elevated outlooks creating a quiet, private top-floor retreat



🌊 Why You’ll Love It

Boutique French-coastal décor with a relaxed Kiwi holiday feel

A sunny balcony perfect for slow mornings and golden evenings

Off-street parking — a rare gem in central Akaroa

Wander to the waterfront, cafés, shops, and all the village favourites



🔑 Ready for your Akaroa escape?



Homes this close to the waterfront — especially with a balcony, air-conditioned comfort, and off-street parking — tend to disappear fast.

Secure your dates now and settle into an elegant, easy-going stay at Akaroa Upper Deck.



Please note that the downstairs single studio may be occupied by other guests during your stay. We appreciate your kindness in keeping noise low and respecting those nearby.
For entertainment, guests can expect to find TVs. Kitchens, washing machines, and 1.5 bathrooms are also standard.
