The view is stunning and Akiko's hospitality was superb.
The bed was comfortable, the bath with a view was very nice and the bird life is lovely.
The listing is accurate in what the cottage consists of and the breakfast provided was fantastic.
We note though there is not any space to prepare food except for outside on the balcony which is only possible when weather permits.
There is no sink also which means washing up in the bath.
Unfortunately we were really disappointed to find our tranquil weekend away was very much disturbed by the industry noise that floats over the water from Lyttelton Harbour. It drones and bleeps all day but does stop in the evening.
It may have been particularly bad with the wind direction on our stay but the cliff top walk was not a peaceful one.
Overall we were a little disappointed with our stay but understand this was from our expectations/needs rather than the accuracy of the listing or the hospitality of Akiko.
