One of a kind...NZ

So many of our experiences have been unique here in NZ.  Josie Martin's life, work, and house are just another example.  She offers us her best room which spills out to a  conservatory of ferns and grapevines with ripening grapes.  The room itself is her creation which she calls the "rose room".  At some point you have to sit in a comfortable chair and take-in  everything around you.  The next morning she brings us a beautiful  breakfast in the conservatory.  We don't want to leave, but we have a drive back to Christchurch and a plane to catch.  Akaroa is a place not to be missed.
