Tree Crop Farm is a romantic little B&B made up of a small farm house and 3 standalone cottages, all nestled snuggly into the Akaroa hillside.
My partner and I stayed in one of the cottages on a cold and rainy weekend which made it all the more enjoyable to be rugged in front of an open fire.
Using the outdoor bath in the rain was a definite highlight, heated with a small wood fire sitting underneath the cast iron tub complete with specifically built smoke stack.Hens and their chicks roam around the garden that is appears wild and over-run with Forget-me-nots and Poppies. The chickens lay eggs that are served for breakfast to the guests.
Tree Crop Farm’s indoor and outdoor dining areas also operates as a cafe during the day. The spaces are filled with all kinds of nick-knacks and with every inch of wall space covered with quotes and sayings written in chalk by owner and super-nice host Lynne Alexander.

Another Review can be found in the Lonely Planet guide;
“ Don’t miss the fabulously quirky Tree Crop Farm Park (03 304 7158 www.treecropfarm.com $10 admission 10am - 5pm in good weather only) 1.5km off the main road through Akaroa.
This private, flower filled wilderness garden is perfect for a wander on established tracks, or you can relax on the sheepskin covered couches on the ramshackle verandah, flicking through magazines, playing a board game or simply reading witticisms written all over the walls. A drink and snack is included in the admission price ( The berry juice is divine) ; rustic, romantic accommodation is also available here. ”
