We travelled the South Island for 3 weeks and stayed in a number of Bed and Breakfasts, all were great but this was our favourite and stood out. The house was amazing and the room was lovely, it was such an awesome bed so comfortable! The hosts were fantastic, friendly and just great and the breakfast was superb! We will... More

There are five of us, and akaroa is our first stop. Coombe farm is absolutely a nice place, spacious and lovely. The location is good, just 5 mins drive to the town, it is very convenience.  We spend our second night here at Akaroa, a very warm welcoming from Katherine, in the evening we pay a visit to the farm,...

Beautiful house in the most beautiful, peaceful setting. Double room was lovely - large and clean, and we had a great night's sleep. Great cooked breakfast too and friendly hosts, free internet for guests to use. About 5 minutes drive from Akaroa. Would thoroughly recommend!

Absolut lovely House, decorated with passion and Love to details. Very warm welcome. We even got a Tour around the sheep farm with the 4WD Quad Bike. We felt rather staying with a friend. Just great. If your are planing a visit in Christchurch we advise staying there, because Christchurch has a limited offer of things to do due to... More

We spent a night in the Shepherds Hutt and it was such a memorable experience, the highlight was the outside bath, nothing like having a hot shower outside in the rain overlooking the bush and listening to the river down below, even the visit from the friendly cows was a highlight. Kathrine keeps the place spotless with lots of delicious... More

I slept in the lovely "Queen bedroom" on a very comfortable bed. In this short term while I stayed at the farm, I could see and feel, how... More

Coombe Farm is a wonderfully healing spot. A year after the February 22 earthquake in Christchurch, a stay in the Shepherd's Hut was just what we needed. We loved the thoughtfully selected collection of books, magazines and CD's, the fruit, chocolates and homemade macaroons, quirky tins and vases of flowers from the farm garden. We also loved soaking in the... More

My husband and I stayed here on our first wedding anniversary and we couldn't have picked a more perfect spot. Hosts Kathrine and Hugh are absolutely delightful and made us feel right at home immediately. It's also nice to stay in a place that has been so lovingly looked after and restored. The garden is absolutely beautiful and our bedroom... More

My brother and I found this place by chance, because everything else in Akaroa was already full. We were traveling around the whole south island and this place was one of the nicest of all places we´ve been in New Zealand. We stayed in the main house and the view from the windows is so beautiful. Catherine and Hugh are... More
