    I enjoyed my stay. Annette & Steve were excellent hosts. The food was your standard pub fare and was ok. My biggest sook was the TV. Seriously, it needs an upgrade.

    The bed was very comfortable. The location as you came into Akaroa was perfect to be able to explore the rest of the town. Friendly staff and made very welcome.
