Where to eat and stay in Akaroa

40 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Akaroa, Canterbury — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 40 venues in Akaroa — 20 places to eat and 20 to stay. That makes it the 10th-largest of the 213 towns and suburbs we cover in Canterbury, carrying 2% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 30% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Akaroa eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 6 cafés, 9 restaurants, 2 takeaways, 1 bars and 2 pubs.

5 of the 20 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are thai (2), seafood (2) and fish and chips (2). None of them is far out of line with the national picture; the mix here is broad rather than specialised.

On the practical detail: 12 publish opening hours (30%), 3 have outdoor seating and 3 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 23% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Akaroa runs to 20 listings — 6 hotels, 3 motels, 2 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels, 5 serviced apartments and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 30% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 50% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Mount Eden (40), Dannemora (40), Remuera (41) and Rangiora (41) — average 4% accommodation. Akaroa runs at 50%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 40 venues in Akaroa carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
