We had a really nice time at Jos and Stew's place. They were very friendly and welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The room was large enough for two persons, and clean as well. The view overlooking the beautiful garden and the nearby creek was lovely. Jos and Stew also provided us with nice bread, cereals, and some spreads for breakfast. They were also kind enough to offer us filtered water in case we had any concerns about drinking from the tap. The free parking and close proximity to Akaroa town were also great reasons to stay here.
