We spent our last two nights in NZ at the Olive Grove. We had just come from a large chain hotel in Queenstown (which we loved), so I was a little worried about the small B&B. There was no reason to be concerned. We walked in and Annette warmly greeted us. Since it was a slower time of the year... More

Firstly this place offers itself in a wonderful location. The owners really know how to make you feel at home and welcome with their complimentary home grown olive oil tasting. The whole place is full of little extra touches and the breakfast is to die for. The bedroom we stayed in has a stunning view overlooking the bay, and is... More

We had a fanstatic stay the olive grove. Annette's warmth and Chris's humour really made the stay a very enjoyable one. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Olive tasting also adds to the experience. Room and bath room were clean. View from the deck down towards the bay is beautiful. Our 18 month daughter also enjoyed looking at the sheeps across... More

This was our first stop on our round trip in New Zealand. Having got off the plane after more or less 24 hours flight, Chris and Annette were most welcoming. They have a lovely B&B and olive farm in a fantastic setting. The breakfasts were absolutely outstanding (and I am really not a breakfast person!) and we just hung around... More

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed into Chris and Annette's home. After being shown to our beautiful, clean and cosy room, we were invited to sample their very own olive oil with bread and dukkah. We felt like we were catching up with old friends, sharing stories with great hosts and another lovely English couple. Great local... More

Chris and Annette manage a lovely B&B and an olive farm. We were late arriving although we did ring ahead. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our restfully wallpapered room. The en-suite bathroom had a good sized shower and olive based toiletries.which were beautifully soft. There was not a sound to be heard in the night and... More

We loved this B & B. It is a tiny bit outside of the town, but on a lovely hillside with a wonderful view. We had the family suite for the five of us. It was cozy, quiet, spotless, and the hosts were lovely. They helped us with our dinner arrangements. The bedding and toiletries were top notch. The breakfast... More

The Olive Grove was the last stop on our 15 day tour of New Zealand and we couldn't have picked a better spot to end our journey. Chris and Annette met us at the door and made us feel instantly welcome. Our room was spotlessly clean and fresh, beautifully decorated, with a large bathroom, all the amenities, and a fantastic...

My wife and I stayed at Akaroa at the end of december. What a treat the rooms are very tastefully done in an immaculate older style home. It is so quiet and peaceful with amazing views of the harbour. The breakfast was delicious all homemade with different offerings for both mornings we were here. Annette and Chris are great hosts...
