Newton Heights Bed and Breakfast embraces the best of Akaroa with all-day sun and spectacular views of the harbour, village and surrounding hills. This modern architecturally designed home, furnished in a warm eclectic style, welcomes you - as do your friendly but discreet hosts Gail and Brendon. In the mornings, enjoy birdsong from native Tui, Bellbirds, and Kereru, and a leisurely complimentary breakfast of fresh coffee and croissants, organic homemade muesli or a full English breakfast, before exploring Akaroa. At night, unwind on your private terrace with a glass of wine, or enjoy the ambience of the shared terrace with its outdoor fire and spa pool. Newton Heights offers an exceptional bed and breakfast experience right in the heart of Akaroa. Guests love Gail and Brendon’s approach to accommodation and recommend them for couples and extended family. You could call it one of Akaroa’s worst-kept bed and breakfast secrets! Newton Heights is that rare luxury, a year-round sanctuary from the every-day, a warm, welcoming home-away-from-home.

I enjoyed a bed and breakfast with Brendan and Gail in July 2022. The evening was comfortable, friendly and at times hilarious as Gail told stories of growing up on a Canterbury farm which during WW2 became a military air base.

Welcoming and friendly hosts! Gail and Brendan are friendly and accommodating, as are the neighbours Liz and Jim who looked after us also during our stay. Breakfast and coffee is served to order and preference at a time to suit. The beds are comfortable and bedding is quality with a nice feel. We stayed in the fantail room however all rooms looked good and have their own bathroom attached. Stunning scenery from the property with panoramic views. Nice spa pool to relax in post hike! Great position, nice accommodation. Just a short 5-10 minutes walk down hill to Akaroa shops.

We are nearing the end of our 3 night stay at this beautiful Akaroa Bed and breakfast. Gail and Brendan are the consummate hosts. We have been made to feel so welcome in their beautiful home. It’s an architectural masterpiece and filled with wonderful collectables , many of them sourced in France. Decor throughout is to a very high standard. The bedrooms are beautiful and the beds so comfortable. Whenever we returned back to the house Gail greeted us with an offer of coffee, tea or wine. Brendan was an excellent tour guide giving us many ideas of places to visit. Last but not least are the most amazing breakfasts served on the terrace overlooking the harbour. The freshest of home grown ingredients used to make the most delicious food. This is a place that we have rarely come across in terms of a complete experience. We highly recommend staying here. …

What a beautiful B&B, best view and fantastic location, just enough out of the town, but close enough to wander into town and around the beach. Our Hosts, Gail and Brendon where very welcoming and so much fun. We will return many times I am sure.
