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

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.
