Okekura, nestled in the hills behind Wainui, a bubbling stream, wind rippling through the pines, a warm bed, warm shower and just enough kitchen to get you through breakfast. Views through the forest to the other side of the valley, a short walk down to the harbour, a short drive into the welcoming village of Akaroa on the other side - one of the best stays we have had in New Zealand, correction - the best.
