We visited Ma Maison to celebrate our last night of holidays. We had two young children (aged 4 & 2) and they had meals to accommodate them easily. The food was spectacular - I can't fault it & the service was prompt & friendly. I love the cosy atmosphere of the place - even tho it was an open room... More

My husband and I recently dined at this restaurant duing a week-long stay in Akaroa. We were served by the lovely Ricky. We both enjoyed the food and wine, and Ricky's excellent service. It was a quiet but very pleasant evening. This was the first time in many years that I've ordered a medium rare steak, and actually received one!... More

Attentive welcoming service and good menu to choose from. Blue cod special was everything we expected and the whitebait omelette was very good despite initially being served with unordered sauce. Excellent choice of wines.

Staff were a little disorganised but friendly. Food was OK. Service a little slow but not that bad. Nice view across the bay.

It was a nice casual atmopsphere, with terrific local decor, especially after a flight from Australia, and a drive from Christchurch that day, so it was nice to relax. The restaurant has an award winning chef who serves a beautiful meal. Right on the waterfront.
