Jos and Stew made us feel extremely welcome, the accommodation was beautifully appointed with many special little additions including freshly cut flowers from their extensive, well manicured garden.
We were provided with generous provisions which were regularly replenished.
The large rural property is located in a quiet residential area, the only sounds we heard was the gentle babbling of a nearby stream and the songs of the garden birds.
It was a delight to be able to eat a leisurely breakfast on the sunny balcony overlooking the beautifully tended gardens.
The attractions of Akaroa were a short walk away and our hosts provided us information of where to go and what to see.
