Our stay at Acapella Lodge was a wonderful introduction to New Zealand. We chose to stay at Acapella Lodge for our first three nights. Linda's attention to detail from drinks on the deck to the fluffy bathrobes in each room make any traveller feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and Linda organised bookings for our evening meals ensuring we... More

Acapella Lodge is a one-of-a-kind house with stunning views of Akaroa. We stayed at Acapella for our last three nights in NZ. It was relaxing and comfortable, and Linda is the perfect host. Bedrooms are well-appointed with all the amenities as well as a private patio. This is a great place for friends traveling together; it felt like our own... More

We had chosen Acapella as the best place to stay in Akaroa as we were travelling with good friends who had not been to NZ before. We were not disappointed. The welcome was warm, location ideal and accommodation superb. Drinks on the sun deck before walking out for a meal was a nice touch.

Linda has created a wonderful B&B that is far above the standard. It is an amazing contemporary house, decorated in tasteful comfort where you can relax, read, and enjoy the lovely view. She is great about recommending places to eat and things to do. An easy walk to everything on the waterfront, and absolutely the nicest B&B I've stayed in.

Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! Linda was a gracious hostess with many ideas on how to spend our time in this quaint resort town. Breakfast is optional and there are two rooms from which to choose, the Ginko and Rimu. It is wonderfully located - everything is within walking distance. We were late arrivals and Linda... More

Akaroa is an absolute delight of a place to visit. Not only is the scenery stunning, but the small towns of the area are full of charm and character. To top the experience we were lucky enough to stay at Acapella Lodge which turned out to be an excellent choice. The lodge is eccentric in design being spread over three... More

We stayed at Acapella for our two final nights in new Zealand, and what a treat. Linda, the Inkeeper, was warm and gracious, but also left you to yourself if you preferred. The home is gorgeous - built on three levels, and at each level, you can go outside to a deck with fabulous views of Akaroa Harbour. The location... More

We are so glad that we spent the night at Acapella. The house interior decor and exterior landscape are superb. The host, Linda was so lovely and helpful. We can see that she spent a long of time on the details of almost everything. Love the living rooms so much. View from our room was fantastic as well. Everything is... More
