French Cottage
French Cottage, [circa 1860’s] Akaroa. One of the original French Settlers cottages, built of local Banks Peninsula Totara pit sawn timber, quaint, and warm. ‘Loved and cherished by all that stay, the old history and tranquillity, so easy and so central to enjoy’. The cottage is really suited for 2 couples. The cottage is situated 15 Rue Balguerie, just off the main Rue Lavaud, 50mtrs up from the museum and BNZ bank. It is a short walk to the supermarket, visitors centre, restaurants, Dalys wharf and the main beach, so very central to walk ever where on your stay.
