What a find 😊 not only is the property beautiful and quiet, the accommodations overlook a flowing stream so you are immersed in the sound of a running water and amazing birdsong. My bed was fresh, clean and super comfy and I enjoyed sleeping with the door open to my little private porch. To feel the cool night air on my face whilst I snuggled into the doona was a delight. I enjoyed the welcoming gin and tonics, sharing dinner and watching movies with Lynnie at night. Lynnie is a wonderful, warm and welcoming host for not only sharing her property but also sharing her daily life. I enjoyed feeding the chickens and goose and learning some cooking skills from someone who can bring out the best in fresh produce. As a hiker, Lynnie kindly drove me to the start of the DOC 3 day hike which was really great. Now I’m off for more walking on the Banks Track. Staying at Lynnie’s Airbnb made Akaroa even more beautiful. Thank you Lynnie.
