SERVICE N STÀY XCELLENCE @ LA ROCHELLE, AKAROA, NZ
Erica the host was friendly n gracious. Her service support was excellent. One kink was the matress when sleeping on it tend to be lop sided to the edge. The other kink was wifi keep losing connection to internet. A more strudy cutting/chopping knife would be good.

Disliked: Amenities
Great location and excellent condition. Be aware that although the room is marketed with kitchette you are not allow to cook onions, bacon, fish curries or fry anything which makes it very difficult to prepare a meal. There is a BBQ but no light to see what you are cooking and the smokers area is a couch and ash tray butted up against the BBQ. Consider you needs before booking.
