We regulalry take breaks to Akaroa for long weekends from Christchurch, and over the past few years have stayed in a few different AirBnBs in and around the village. It's fair to say that knowehre has been quite so special to stay as the Herb Farm, it's simply magical. Alethea has done an incredible job turning this little cottage into a beautiful retreat you can escape to. There are so many thoughtful touches you really feel so welcomed and looked after. Not having running water or a full kitchen is a bit of an inconvienince but Alethea has really tried to accomodate for this as best as it could be. For a couple looking for a romantic escape I don't think you'll find anything better.
