The old farmhouse has been loved and fully restored, with wonderful bathrooms and an excellent kitchen; everything has been so thoughtfully done. The highlight is that sublime view of sunset out over the water from comfortable chairs, and the lovely hosts Marie and Rob, who were so friendly and generous - we also enjoyed cuddles with their dogs and cat! Such a special place, an excellent place from which to explore the beautiful Akaroa peninsula - we only wish we could have stayed longer.
