It is really well written and has some great pictures.
A part of it is below (pictures and text copyright of it's owner);
on one of the days in Akaroa... we went to this rustic garden in Akaroa. It really is a niche bed & breakfast for new/young newlyweds for a romantic romp, cuz they have several huts to rent out... and its really cozy, romantic, back to nature kind of retreat... super carefree host, in a very laid back non intrusive nature...
But we went there to look and wander around the gardens... Entrance to the place was NZ$10 per adult which included a refreshing drink.
Julie and I loved the place... for its rough / back to nature style and really rustic atmosphere... Julies dad and sis-in-law didn't quite take to it... but nevertheless... it was beautiful... the gardens all filled with wild flowers and many other kinds of fauna...
We also saw a huge gigantic fern... donno what type BUT it was HUGE...
