Welcome to Overton Cottage!

Nestled in amongst native New Zealand bush, this one bedroom cottage captures the essence of the stunning Akaroa scenery with a view out over Akaroa Harbour, the sounds of the bell birds singing and privacy to really help you escape.

Enjoy the cosy living area made for easy, laid-back holiday living and fitted with all the essentials you might need onyour trip. At the end of the day when you need to really unwind there is a large spa bath ready and waiting to help the stress melt away. In Winter, pour yourself a glass of wine, light a fire and enjoy the calm surroundings.

Head into town, just a few minutes drive down the road, where you can explore the local shops and cafes. Or take a scenic cruise around Akaroa Harbour, host to amazing sea mammals and bird life, including the world’s smallest and rarest dolphins, the Hector's dolphin, New Zealand fur seals and White-flippered penguins.

    Amazing view and surrounding bush but wood burner kept going out, the kettle kept stopping well before it reached boiling, terrible small bed, I expected a lot better for 300 + per night, no face clothes.

    The cottage is very well equipped with everything you might need. Comfortable bed.Our only grouse was the state of the road up to the cottage. We were in a small car, and were in danger of a puncture or broken axle.

    Great place with beautiful views and lovely nature sounds to wake up to in the morning. Little bit tough to get to if you’re planning on walking into town.

    Perfect size for a couple, very handy location to Akaroa while still feeling very quiet and isolated. Enjoyed breakfast on the deck listening to the bird life and taking in the stunning view of the bay. Loved our stay, thank you!

    Peace and quiet in the trees with visiting birds (the site won't allow me to name them but they are birds native to NZ) and just a short drive to town if you need to.
