There are many smarter ...more predictable... places to stay in Akaroa but nothing compares with the quirky, unique experience of Tree Crop Farm. Lynnie is more than a caring host. She is a great lady with whom to share a glass of wine or two and set the world to rights. Savvy and interesting... the perfect host. The natural, wild... More

My boyfriend surprised me with a night in the tree house, and what a wonderful surprise it was! First impressions are great, bursts of colour everywhere from all the wild flowers and a really rustic charm which is impossible not to smile at. The tree house is perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all, furnished with... More

Caution: this place is not for everybody - for Nature lovers and people who appreciate originality We had read a lot of different comments on the Tree Crop Farm, and we realized before we went there that this was not a place for "everyone" because it has so much originality to it. We loved it so much that it has... More

Loved the tree hut accommodation, the rambling old garden, 'the bush bath'...just the thing for a wedding anniversary stay. Thank you!

The Lost Weekend hut right at the bottom of the amazing gardens and over its own bridge offers complete privacy and quiet. There is a burnished outdoor bath prepared lovingly with fresh... More

Steamy bath under the stars, lupin laden valley, possum skins, sheepskins, crafted candles, slippery sheets, bell birds, doves, herbs, healthy debates over healthy breakfasts, .......... all added up to a magical weekend! Thank you Linnie.

I think people should think very carefully about booking this accomodation. The owner, Lynnie, gave us very little privacy as she actually joined us in the spa!!! Not very romantic. The kitchen was filthy and our room wasn't much better (I don't even think the duvet cover was changed). Lynnie also walked in on another couple in bed whilst we... More

I'm writing this review in mid May 2009 but even having had 5 months to take it all in I still don't think I can do justice to Tree Crop Farm. My partner had enjoyed a 3 week trip in a tiny (literally) camper van and this was to be our last night in it before our final night in... More
