Ideal family home
Lovely comfortable home for extended family stay. Once firewood was sorted (thankyou) fire was great for heating whole house. Spectacular views from main bedroom and lounge plus decks. Very close to Akaroa. Unfortunately didnt get email re checking in arrangements but sorted quickly once we got someone on the phone!

Friends Weekend
A group of over 65's who get together to celebrate friendship and explore the area. Onawe Peninsula is recommended at low tide. Worth researching the history beforehand. We are planning another stay just to relax and enjoy the views.
