It was a long drive from Christchurch airport to Akaroa Coastal Studio late at night, the roads are winding and dangerous, so we wouldn't recommend the same drive, plus you miss out on the spectacular views. Jenny + Johns place is about a 15 minute drive on narrow, winding roads into the mountains. The studio was clean and comfortable with basic amenities. Waking up to stunning views of the bay was definitely a highlight. They have a great spot with a world class vista. We didn't get to meet Jenny or John, but John was extremely helpful and understanding of our late arrival.
