Beaufort House Akaroa

酒店非常漂亮、驚艷！下午的葡萄酒、煙燻三文魚麪包味美可口，早餐同樣精緻美味，女主人莎倫的熱情友好和耐心讓我們度過了愉快的一晚！

不錯，位置很好，人也不錯服務的。酒店風格很有意思，比網上圖片好看。早餐也還可以。很喜歡阿卡羅阿這個小鎮，很美。人少，世外桃源的感覺。

The rooms in the beautiful house are all different, and full of character and atmosphere. Our room had a separate bathroom, which turned out a blessing in disguise: it was a full size bathroom with a traditional bath. Wonderfully relaxing. The hosts are super helpful and knowledgable, the breakfast delicious and generous. The house is situated in a colourful and well maintained garden, within easy walking distance from the beach front. Highly recommended.

The Banks Peninsula, and the town of Akaroa in particular, are extremely charming. This bed-and-breakfast takes that charm to new heights. The architecture and the setting are superb, and the owner's passion for collecting has transformed the home inside into a living museum. Sharon was a very gracious host, with great ceremony around having a drinks time before her guests depart for dinner as well as a breakfast service involving an astounding number of forks, knives, spoons and successive layers of china (and ancient 78s played on a real Victrola). This was truly a unique experience, and one that seemed very characteristic of the place. There are four bedrooms, three upstairs, and one downstairs which is rather small.

This B&B is the perfect accommodation if you want to be walkable to Akaroa but away from the restaurants and motels downtown. Surrounded by old trees and well kept gardens, this B&B is noteworthy for its outstanding hospitality. For instance, they host a 6:00 pm gathering for all of their guests complete with cold drinks and homemade hors d'oeuvres. We met interesting couples from all over the world. Breakfast is a delight with continental fare, fresh baked croissant and / or an English breakfast. My wife and I, inveterate travelers, rate Beaufort House as our all time favorite B&B.

Interesting and convivial hosts made for our New Year's Eve stay an enjoyable and memorable experience. We stayed in the rather snug but quaint Shepherd room with its balcony overlooking the magnificent specimen trees in the beautiful surrounding gardens. The gardens were full of bird song, especially the tuneful bellbird. The owners hosted a delightful early evening drinks and canapes gathering of guests in the garden and even took some photographs of the group and individually. It was a good mixture of fun and laughter amongst the various international clientele. We relaxed in the spacious and interesting sitting room which was crammed full with an eclectic mix of antiques and fine bone English china and glassware which captured our imagination and attention. The breakfast choice was sensational with a healthy option and plentiful portions. A great time all-in-all, to ring in the New Year in a private and peaceful setting close to all of the amenities of the impressive township of Akaroa.

We were thrilled to discover such a beautiful guest house. Sharon and Noel are the perfect hosts, exuding professionalism and warmth, and they kept us well entertained over delicious breakfasts and evening drinks and canapés. The house is a delight with comfortable rooms overlooking beautifully tended gardens. We look forward to returning in future. Thank you!

Beaufort House is gorgeous, room had a beautiful view of the harbor, breakfast was amazing and it was a quick/easy walk into town. Noel and Sharon were so kind and generous and took a personal interest to ensure every aspect of our visit to Akaroa was enjoyable.

This beautiful historic B&B was our most treasured stay during our three week trip to New Zealand. We had the Napier room which has a botanical theme and is beautifully presented. The bed and sheets were amazing, no detail has been forgotten in the room. The house itself and gardens are fabulous and full of old world charm, even a gramophone! Sharon was an excellent host (Noel away sailing) and struck the perfect balance with her amazing breakfasts (try her scrambled eggs) and cosy early evening nibbles in the lounge. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you are going to Akaroa stay nowhere else!
