Lovely location, very private and peaceful with a bubbling stream right beside the cottage. Cottage is cosy but spacious and has pretty classic styling, just like in the photos. We came in spring but there are shady trees and also an open fire and a very effective heater so I'm sure it would be great in any season. Ideal quiet getaway for a couple and only five minutes from picturesque Akaroa which has lots of nice places to eat. Nice bed, lovely linen and good wi-fi. Thanks David and Sue for your excellent hospitality.
