33 Rue Lavaud, Akaroa presents a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled freehold in the heart of one of New Zealand’s most tightly held seaside markets.

Positioned within Akaroa’s main retail and tourism strip, the property benefits from strong exposure, steady foot traffic, and a constant flow of visitors drawn to this popular coastal destination.

Set on a 224sqm freehold site with approximately 190sqm of building area, the property dates back to the early 1900s and retains its colonial charm, with upgrades over time improving usability.

At the front of the building is a small hospitality tenancy - previously operating as the much-loved Little Bistro, a cosy and intimate restaurant known for its atmosphere and local following. This space lends itself naturally to café, dining, or boutique retail use.

Behind, a substantial four-bedroom accommodation unit provides excellent flexibility - ideal for owner-operators, staff housing, or additional income through short-stay or residential use (subject to consents).

Offered with vacant possession, this is a versatile asset combining proven hospitality use with meaningful accommodation in a premium, high-demand location.

Opportunities offering commercial presence at the front and residential scale behind are rarely available in Akaroa.

Deadline Private Treaty – Enquiries Over $980,000, closing 4pm, Thursday 2nd July 2026 (unless sold prior)
