Where do I begin? I was traveling with a dear friend and Jenny & John and our experience in Akaroa was the highlight of our New Zealand trip. Their studio is cozy (has great kitchen essentials and privacy), their home is just gorgeous--beautifully located right on the water. Jenny went out of her way to accommodate and bake for our dietary needs and John helped us with all the travel/weather/hiking info we needed. It was so nice, we added an extra day to our stay. It was really special to spend time with them and we were actually sad to leave.
