Where to begin?
Blythecliff is not your typical overnight.
A charming great house with three acres of grounds and forest dotted with art, a croquet lawn and resident doves.
And an attentive staff.
Breakfast was all we could wish for.
Try Lesley’s Award Winning Orange Marmalade!
Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

A lovely quaint historic house full of memorabilia in a lovely big garden. My room and bathroom were impeccable and had a lovely view of the garden and the bay.
The breakfast was served with lovely china and fresh coffee, croissants, fresh fruit salad and yogurt. Homemade jams, and eggs and bacon freshly made to order from the lovely hostess.

Lovely stay in interesting historic home
Our host was very friendly and welcoming. Blythcliffe is an interesting historic home in lovely Akaroa and is close to all the cafes and shops. Fantastic breakfast and a VERY comfortable bed with nice linens. The host is a talented sculptor and the garden has lots of his work on display.

We visited Akaroa on a cold and rainy winter weekend, but Blythcliffe was the perfect place to come back to after a damp afternoon strolling around town. Filled with antiques, and beautiful artwork, it was the best part of our trip. Breakfast was excellent as well. We'll definitely be back.

Great hospitality very welcoming. Nice clean rooms and comfy bed. Balcony to sit out on looking over the lovely garden, and forest area to explore. Great breakfast left feeling rejuvenated. Thanks John and Lesley.

Traveling with a toddler, we were a little nervous staying at a B&B, but John and Lesley made us feel welcome right from our arrival through our 3 night stay. From showing our little one around the property (doves, chickens, and eels... so exciting!), to provide extra blankets and towels for her to sleep on the couch, to friendly questions and suggestions each day, they made it a great experience. The accommodations in the stables were comfortable and it was easy to feel "at home" with amenities and kitchen set-up. The breakfast was amazing... beautiful and delicious and locally sourced. It's been months and I am still remembering the scrambled eggs, roasted tomatoes, and thick toast. Really can't ask for more! We loved the Akaroa area as well, and this location was a perfect jumping off point for other adventures and exploration nearby. Thank you for the lovely hospitality Lesley and John! Grateful that our journey brought us your way. We look forward to returning in coming years!
