The view was amazing....loved sitting outside by the fire late into the night. It was a quiet place with the a great beach just a few minutes walk down a path outside the home. The home was well setup everything we needed. Its about 20 minutes out of Akaroa(and shops)....but we were glad we stayed on this side...as more relaxing(and most nights we ate at the home). Communication with Kim was excellent and I would highly recommend a stay....the view from the home is just amazing...a slice of heaven
