Sharon and Noel provide a warm welcome for their guests, a breakfast that is second to none, and a very social canapés and drinks at 6pm. Beds are supremely comfortable and no eye blinds or ear plugs are needed for a deep sleep. Beaufort House is a short, easy walk to the restaurants and shops of Akoroa. We ate at Tini (excellent pizza), Caldera (likely one of the best meals we will have in New Zealand - thank you for the recommendation Sharon) and Ahie. A wonderful introduction to this amazing country. Thank you - and also the Bev for the many cups of tea.
