What a beautiful spot for the whole family. The hot tub was a great hit with the children. Property was so spacious and warm, loved the fire, it rained the entire time and it didn't put a damper on our trip because the place was so great. Arts and crafts box was great for the kids, lots of books to read, heaps of information on things to do in akaroa was fantastic. We loved the location, lots of bush and birds. The house was stocked with plenty of things to use, herbs/spices, tea/coffee, extra treats from Victoria made everything so easy, was such a great stay, we can't wait to come back again.
