The studio is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. John was so kind and helpful with any questions we had. He set the spa for us when we wanted it ready. The view is to die for and John’s place is a little drive away from town which was nice as there was a cruise ship on the day in Akaroa so was good to get away from the crowds. I also highly recommend getting onboard John’s boat cruise on the Southern Wanderer. We had 2 hours on the water and saw dolphins, penguins, seals and countless bird life. 10/10 would highly recommend.
