What can I say? Everyone else has raved about Heather's place... understandably so. My family was so impressed with me for booking this place for a family trip around the South Island. It is absolutely lovely. Heather is a warm and welcoming host and we all enjoyed meeting her. I was especially impressed by the grounds: we used the canoes to boat on the stream behind the property, fed the eels and soaked in the hot tub. We took day trips to akaroa and around. Great place and thanks for the wonderful stay!
