This is a wonderful place to stay and the hosts are wonderful too!!! A little winding grassy path leads you to A footbridge over a stream and there you are at the herb cottage! The first thing that struck me was the absolute beauty of the garden and the incredible bird song! Alethea and Rodney are wonderful hosts, very warm and hospitable, and really go the extra mile to make sure you have a great stay.
The cottage is very sweet and I thoroughly enjoyed my four nights there.
I highly recommend this is a great place for an eco retreat! It is only a few minutes from the main street of Akaroa but you feel like you are way out in the countryside!
