Lovely hosts, Howard and Janet, have provided a delightful, well-appointed studio that is very clean and comfortable in a beautiful, private location of Akaroa in St Helens. We had everything we needed for a most enjoyable 2-night stay in winter. Howard was very helpful with his fishing knowledge and written guides for interesting walks in the area; we slept so well after full days of activities! BTW, we had a great take-away pizza one night from the nearby Hillcrest caravan park. A wonderful stay.
