The hosts were lovely and chatted freely. It was located very close to town and the house was historical. The breakfast was great and we enjoyed our walk through the bush and gardens on the property. I can thoroughly recommend a stay here.

“If you want a divine holiday experience, stay here!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Queen Room with Balcony
- • Stayed 3 nights
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful few days staying in this historic manor celebrating out first wedding anniversary. Lesley and John, the hosts, have created a beautiful b&b experience. Not only is Akaroa a peaceful and beautiful town, but Blythcliffe is a private oasis within the already divine surrounds. The birds chirping, the smell of the flowers in the verdant garden and the calming sounds of the creek created a constant sense of bliss. Our hosts went out of their way to accomodate our every request from breakfast, to assisting dinner reservations and booking a dolphin swim. John welcomed us with open arms and showed us many interesting aspects of the property. Lesley marked ourt all the various things we might like to do on a map over breakfast and we proceeded to follow her suggestions, including a beautiful hike right by the property. Every morning we enjoyed a indulgent breakfast of croissants, fruit, yogurt, cereal as well as a cooked breakfast (salmon omelette or traditional cooked breakfast) with fresh coffee and orange juice. We stayed in the Rose Room but got a glimpse of the Willow Room and the Stables. If you love having a view of the water, stay in the Rose Room. We loved the balcony and staring out the windows at the lovely treetops while reading a book. All the rooms looked lovely and seem to have their own benefits. We didn't realise when we booked that the Rose & Willow room share a wonderful little tea room with complimentary tea, biscuits, fruit and some basic kitchen items like plates, cups, chopping boards and utensils which allowed us to have a lovely DIY cheese plate and champagne on the balcony one afternoon. This is a thoughtful addition which adds to the luxury of the experience.

Clean-up of room between nights e.g. take away dirty dishes. Cold bathroom with time limited switch (about 30 seconds). Could hear snoring through walls.
Comfy bed. Hosts made lovely breakfast - nothing was too much trouble.
