We loved our stay in Fiona’s retro camper. Unfortunately we only had one night, it would be easy to stay for a few days or a week to totally disconnect and enjoy nature. The camper is set in a lovely big garden with lots of privacy, and with chickens on site and some lambs and cows in the next field, we were blown away by the peace and relaxation during our stay. We expected a quirky stay but found it so much better than that- Fiona was wonderully welcoming and showed us around everywhere, and even offered to help us have a campfire to sit by at night (it was unfortunately too wet- New Zealand spring!) and for us to collect some fresh eggs from the hens to enjoy for breakfast. Overall we loved our stay, getting back to nature and relaxing but still enjoying home comforts such as the electricity in the camper and being able to use a real bathroom was ideal. About 30 mins drive from Akaroa, there are no shops around (not a bad thing!) so stock up on some groceries and a bottle of wine before you head to Pigeon Bay and you can totally relax. Fiona has some great suggestions for lovely walks near the beach which is beautiful, or you can enjoy meditation and palm reading (no pressure to attend). Fantastic warm atmosphere and highly recommend as a stop off on the East cost to unwind. Fab!
