"A diamond on the hillside with sparkling views and a warm welcome to all.
The gardens were wonderful & the room extremely cosy!"

Each of our spacious rooms have been tastefully refurbished, furnished with antiques, top quality king-size beds and exquisite en-suite bathrooms. Relish in the luxury of fine thread linens, exclusive organic soaps, plush bathrobes, and the conveniences of silent room heating, state of the art Tivoli radios, and wireless internet access. Our two guestrooms within the homestead, the Rose Room and the Green Room, have majestic sea views, and the sunny Cottage Room overlooks the fragrant rose garden. |

Our cozy guest lounge, adorned with fresh flowers from the garden, is well stocked with a wonderful selection of local history and New Zealand photography books, magazines, board games, old maritime prints, and music. Enjoy complimentary sherry, port, tea and coffee, and treat yourself to our scrumptious home baked muffins or cookies. |

| In the morning we prepare you a delicious breakfast, with our fresh baked bread, homemade jam, fruit from the orchard, cereals, an array of teas, and organic coffee. Or, for a more hearty fare, savour our farm style breakfast with honey cured bacon and free range eggs. |

In the evening, we can recommend one of Akaroa's fine dining restaurants, or with prior arrangement we can prepare one of our fabulous homemade soups. Alternatively, create your own romantic dinner for two, alfresco or by the open fire, with some of Akaroa's renowned specialties. From Barry's Bay cheese to French Farm Winery, from La Casa Toscana's award winning olive oils to the Saturday farmers market with its local produce and famous Akaroa smoked salmon, spend the day exploring the Peninsula and stimulate your taste buds. |
 |
Then come back and put your feet up while we light the candles and bring china, glasses, and cutlery. As the sun sets magnificently over the harbour and the hills beyond, indulge in your finds, enjoy a glass of wine on the verandah, and marvel at the most spectacular views on Banks Peninsula. |

“I had been told to expect great views in New Zealand and was
determined not to be too easily impressed. Yet this carefully prepared
insouciance counted for nothing when I reached Onuku Heights.
My range of exclamations was found wanting…
all breathtaking stuff and you’re just 15 minutes from Akaroa.”
