We were looking for somewhere quiet and off the beaten track, with eco amenities, space for the kids to roam and a friendly host and this was exactly that. The Onuku Bush Retreat is a few miles of winding road past Akaroa, but is easy to find. The breakfast of toast, homemade yogurt & fresh milk was yum, the two bedroom & kitchen cabins were clean and with great views. It was lovely to use solar power and experience using a composting toilet. There is a walk from the parking down, past the bunnies down to the guest house, adding a nice distance from the rush of real life. The opportunity to walk on the property was also appreciated. This is great value for money and the 6 of us are already planning on our return trip from our home in Christchurch. Many thanks to Chris and his family for hosting us.
