L'Abri Bed and Breakfast

This was a three night birthday treat for an Auckland wife and Grandmother, her choice, and the accomodation immediately proved worthy of that decision. Our welcome and ongoing care from our host Jane made us feel truly comfortable, almost like being at home except we don't have a cat called Rosie or chickens to provide fresh eggs every day. L'Abris is a place to come back to, why chance the unknown.

One of the nicest B&B’s in New Zealand. It is our 3rd stay and we still marvel at its beautiful views. Jayne is a fantastic host and her breakfasts a delight. Rooms are really comfortable and there is a lovely lounge in which to relax and enjoy the views. It’s conveniently placed with a five minute drive into Akaroa a quaint old French settlement on the water.

The self contained garden cottage was just perfect giving us the privacy and restful surroundings to recover from our two day journey from Wales, UK. Every window looks out onto the garden, the mountains or the bay in the distance, so you really feel at one with nature whilst the night skies are a sight to behold with the Milky Way clearly visible . The little veranda is a beautiful suntrap with garden chairs. A big plus is that there is a washing machine as well as the small kitchen, sitting area and big comfy bed. Breakfast was served in the house, two minutes walk away and was beautifully presented and prepared by Jane, the host, in the dining room with panoramic views over the bay and mountains beyond. There is an adjoining, communal lounge area with the same views but we were happy to stay snug in our little cottage.. When we ventured out we were blown away by the Summit Road drive which led us to a deserted Le Bon Beach, a wonderful memory of our first day in NZ.. Highly recommend taking a sailing trip on Fox II to see the Hector dolphins .

What a beautiful BnB a few minutes from Akaroa. Comfortable lounge and gorgeous views from the deck looking over the pretty garden out to the bay. Delicious breakfast and Jane is a wonderful host. Stayed one night on a road trip with my parents. Highly recommend.

Wat een heerlijke oase om te acclimatiseren in NZ ! Heerlijke plek in prachtige tuin met magnifique uitzicht . Comfortabele en smaakvol ingerichte kamer en bovenal Jane , onze host ! Ze kan toveren met eieren en organiseert elke ochtend een fantastisch ontbijt , grote klasse!

Das L'Abri ist ein wunderbar gelegenes Haus in einem liebevoll angelegten Garten. Hier laufen die Hühner frei herum, der Gemüsegarten wird wunderbar gepflegt und man bekommt das frischeste Frühstück ever!! Ein großes Lob an Jane wir haben uns wunderbar wohl gefühlt!.
