Otahuahua - Akaroa Holiday Home

Akaroa, Canterbury, New Zealand

Welcome to Otahuahua! The name Otahuahua means the place of collecting eggs and is also the Māori name for Children's Bay, which is just below this wonderful holiday home. brbrStunning and iconic Akaroa views pour in the large windows, perfectly framed to offer an unforgettable backdrop whether you're waking up, lounging out, or even while you're preparing a delicious holiday meal. An intimate spot, for those seeking a very special break. brbrYou'll be just a 10-minute walk from town, with all its cafes, shops and other attractions, and if you're up for an adventure on dry land, there is great access to local walking tracks from Otahuahua. The must-do Children's Bay Walkway starts by the beach, two minutes walk from the house.
