There aren’t enough stars to give my experience!
I had an incredible couple of days in Akaroa made even more memorable by the amazing hospitality of Jenny and John. They were warm and welcoming, responsive and helpful throughout.
Their house is well placed just minutes from the town centre, and easy to get in and out. You’ll have everything you need and I appreciated the thoughtful touches and clever use of space.
I joined them for a morning boat cruise around the fascinating coastline of the area, seeing dolphins, penguins, many different birds and even a seal! I can highly recommend this optional extra - a great way to see more than most of the region, and at the best time of day. John gave very interesting commentary and had great knowledge of the local wildlife and locations.
After a long day of sightseeing the outdoor “spa under the stars” (yes John I think you should hashtag that!) was just wonderful. Not that you need to step outside to get amazing sunset and sunrise views from your room!
I was sad to move on, but I hope lots of others get the chance to discover this paradise too!
