Kūkupa Matairangi at Akaroa Lavender

Loved the vibe of this cozy tiny home! Was an amazing getaway from the city with my partner. The hot tub under the stars was a romantic treat and waking up to that view was to die for! Lavender to frolic in and also recommend trying Lyn and Malcoms lavender drink, twas delicious! We will definitely be back! Cannot recommend enough! Just go! You won't regret it

A fantastic location for a well deserved holiday away

Stunning location overlooking beautiful Akaroa. The tempestuous weather only added to experience. A sunset hot tub following by a cozy evening by the fire. Thank you to our fantastic hosts

Stunning Location

Modern, well-spec'd, cosy batch in a beautiful, elevated setting with absolutely stunning views south over Akaroa . Lyn and Malcolm were amazing hosts and went the extra mile to look after us. The hot tub in such a private setting is a great touch.
