We loved our stay here and Carol and John were the perfect hosts. Everything was as described but much larger than in the photos. Handy to drive into town, the car park was $12 for the day. Tourist tram is worth doing, it is hop on hop off, $25 for adults. If driving to Akaroa take the back road it is well worth the journey.
Victoria park and the visitors centre is well worth the visit. Great scenic view of the city. Drive up or you can walk if you are fit! Would highly recommend this accommodation.
