Akaroa,  bed and breakfast: Maison de la Mer

There are wide sea views from every room in this gracious and elegant waterfront home. Located in the center of the village just steps away from restaurants and activities. Sumptuous, intimate and comfortable, with gourmet breakfasts served overlooking the ever-changing harbor scene.

Maison de la Mer is an historic home right on the waterfront in the center of the village with commanding views of the harbor from all three guest suites. Guests find themselves surrounded by peaceful elegance, romance and attention to luxurious detail. Three beautiful, individual suites in French Country décor, with fine art, antiques, Persian carpets, crisp white linens, and fresh flowers.

Imagine breakfast, with a beautifully set table, freshly baked goodies and squeezed juices, fresh seasonal fruits, a cooked menu selection, freshly ground coffee, and a selection of teas, while peacefully overlooking all the activity in the harbor and on the beach.
