A 2 night stay over Waitangi weekend with my partner and 5 year old daughter.
This is a charming little cottage set in delightful surrounding with woodlands and creek.
The house is modern, clean and has everything you need including decent Wi-Fi connection. The beds are very comfortable and the linen provided was great quality.
Located in Takamatua, this house is just a short 3 minuet drive to Akaroa, just far enough away from the maddening crowd [ aka the cruise ship crowd].
The swimming pool is a great added bonus.
Your hosts are delightful and were welcoming and inviting and then were essentially not seen for the duration of your stay - which was nice.
I would reccomend this self catering cottage to both locals and international travellers and would happily return again.
