Opening in mid-2027, Newton Heights La Résidence will be home to fourteen beautifully designed guest rooms, bringing together relaxed luxury, thoughtful interiors and the warmth of a Newton Heights stay.
Designed to feel elegant yet inviting, each room will feature natural timbers, soft muted tones and layers of texture, creating a calm and comfortable place to settle in after a day exploring Akaroa.
King-sized beds, luxurious seating areas and private balconies make it easy to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. All but one room will look out across the sea and harbour, taking in the changing light, colours and character of Akaroa throughout the day.
With the village on your doorstep, Newton Heights La Résidence will put you within easy reach of Akaroa’s waterfront, restaurants, cafés, boutiques and coastal walks, while giving you a beautiful space to retreat to at the end of the day.
It’s a new way to experience Newton Heights, with the same focus on comfort, considered details and warm hospitality, in a new home right in the heart of the village.

Our recent stay at Newton Heights B&B was the highlight of our three-week tour of South Island. The owner/hosts Brendon and Gail are engaging and gracious, their architecturally designed home is stunning and comfortable and the breakfast (complete with barista quality coffee choices) was abundant and divine. Beautiful views over Akaroa Harbour and easy walking distance to the village. Simply perfect in all regards!

This review may sound a little extreme however as a B&B experience this is a "must do". It's not just the joy de la vive of the welcoming hosts Gail and Brendan or the views from all corners of their beautiful home. Its not just the spa pool, the conversation, the silence as required, the comfort, cleanliness and fab breakfast its the feeling you've walked into the true warmth of an Akaroa experience - it was unforgettable!
