Chemin Wonder is just a 15-minute stroll to the main shops, only a 5-minute walk to the nearest excellent cafe/restaurant at the Grand Hotel, and a short drive to exciting attractions such as the Akaroa Dolphins and the harbour. Enjoy a peaceful and memorable sun-filled getaway in beautiful Akaroa! Please note there are surveillance cameras at this property, placed in the outdoor areas for added security during your stay.
