Lovely little cottage
We enjoyed our weekend at Akupe. Everything we needed was there, although it would be nice to have a freezer as we had brought some frozen goods. But for a weekend stay it was no problem going without a freezer! Lovely part of the country & we enjoyed our stay 😊

Our stay in Hinekura
Close to destination. Easy to find. VERY OLD property that needs attention. Smells musty. Weeds to greet you at the front door. Ran out of hot water in shower (2 people). Stove electricity dangerous. Can't operate stove and microwave at the same time - blows the fuse. Plenty of ants. One small mirror. Honestly can't recommend this property. Over priced.

Peaceful farm stay
Great get away, loved the farm sounds and smells. Our border collie really enjoyed it. Mornings would have been nicer if the eastern hedge was removed. Great comfy bed and brilliant shower.
