Featuring a terrace, Glenwood Akaroa Bush Retreat - Totara Hut features accommodation in Akaroa. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. Outdoor seating is also available at the bed and breakfast. The location was amazing. The view was amazing. I didn't realize how perfect the location was going to be when I booked it, I would have happily spent several more nights here. It was close to Akaroa but there was no light pollution for star gazing and we woke up to the sounds of birds and a sunrise over the harbor. Truly perfect.

When we had a chat with Mel we got to know that Mel has been spending time renovating the house, she had done a great job. The home looks phenomenal, it is unique and has a very warm vibe. We had a very comfortable stay.
