A fantastic place! Tranquil location, with large spacious house - lovely furnishings and thoughtful touches. There were 7 in our group and the house still felt very spacious. Great space for children - swings, lawn, kids games, good comfortable bunk beds. A great BBQ setup, and beautiful gardens. Only minutes from Little Akaloa bay - a good place to kayak with kids. Thank you Hamish for the local tips, we visited Raupo Bay several times - a beautiful beach off the beaten track. We got involved in some of the farm activities too, which was interesting. Looking forward to returning again oneday.
