We had a great time at Margos and Cornelius cottage. It is just like I imagine it to be looking at the photos. They have an eye for details and it is really easy to settle in and enjoy the beautiful garden and surrounding nature not far from Akaroa. We stayed there for 3 nights in the middle of March and there were only 3-4 other guests. So it felt like plenty of room. And Margo and Cornelius are really easy going, lovely people and great to talk to.
