Vicky was an absolutely wonderful host, bright, happy and funny!! So knowledgeable of the area and nothing was too much trouble! She provided heaps of lovely breakfast supplies and tea and coffee. The space was spotless and so tranquil, in the lush gardens. The city is a 15 minute walk away. Supermarket 5 mins walk away. Akaroa about and an hour away, stop at the sign of the Kiwi Cafe for date scones. Nothing I write can do this place full justice, you’ll have to go and stay and see for yourself. The perfect first stay after getting off a 30 hour flight from the U.K. Thank you Vicky, we really loved you and your place! If we are ever in the area again, we’ll definitely book to stay with you 😘
