We stayed two nights with Mark and Wendy in their Gatekeeper's Cottage in early March 2013. The owners raise sheep, bottle their own red and white wine (excellent by the way and for sale on occasion,) have a spring that supplies their water, and grow vegetables for their own use and the family's restaurant in town. The cottage was very... More

The cottage was very nicely furnish and has a private seating area and a garden outside! One thing to take note is that it is about 1.5km from the main road and the last half of the journey is on a gravel road. We initially thought that we have gone the wrong direction.. So when you see the gravel path,... More

We stayed here based on recommendations from Trip Advisor and loved it. It was perfect for what we were looking for and was very authentic, very clean and charming. We stayed in the Innkeeper's Cottage and found it very comfortable. We walked up to the onsite vineyard and and also to see the sheep. Very peaceful and relaxing and the... More

This was the second time we stayed at Kokopu cottage. It is a little paradise. I love the stained glass window in master bedroom and we love the outdoor tub. We would definitely stay again. It is a lovely setting with the running creek and great garden with a little bridge to cross. Birds singing, the creek bubbling and wind... More

We found the Kokapu Estates B & B from a recommendation from a B & B we had stayed in in Auckland (it was owned by a friend of a friend of our hosts). We stayed in the Potager B & B suite rather than the self-catering cottages. Immediately on arrival, about a mile out of town up a gravel... More

If you are travelling in the Christchurch area, you must stay in Mark and Wendy's B&B. We have nothing but good things to say about this accommodation. It has it all - great views, friendly owners, farm animals on site, a vineyard, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, and close proximity to the beautiful town of Akaroa. The breakfasts are fantastic and... More

We recently stayed in the self contained Kokopu Cottage on the Kokopu Estate, run by the most lovely hosts Wendy and Mark, who made our stay so special. It was our first family holiday in 5 years and it was a truly memorable stay which my husband, 3 year old daughter and I will always hold dear. There were many... More

My husband, daughter & I (plus our beloved wee dog Ruby) stayed in Kokopu Cottage for two nights recently. From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were enchanted by this little red gem nestled in a lush green valley, surrounded by birdsong & the gentle burble of the stream at the bottom of the garden. The cottage itself... More

Kokopu is a beautiful place to stay. We stayed in The Gatekeepers Cottage and found it was so private and pretty. We went to sleep and woke in the morning to the sound of birds singing in the bush near by. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the most comfortable bed and our wee boy loved the goldfish and Furgus the dog... More
