We absolutely loved staying here. David is welcoming and friendly but leaves you alone to enjoy your getaway. I had told him that I was bringing my partner for a surprise 40th birthday treat and he had left a bottle of wine for us in the fridge. Not sure if this is standard anyway, but it was a nice touch that we appreciated.
The accommodation is fully self contained with a kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. Very comfy bed. The garden is glorious with many beautiful mature trees and a wonderful stream that flows right past the house. We had breakfast outside every morning and watched the kereru (wood pigeons) and listened to the many bellbirds. Akaroa is only about three minutes away by car, so a great spot to base yourself while checking out the town.
Would highly recommend this place and would love to stay again in summer when the trees would all be in leaf.
