Interesting and friendly hosts, excellent coffee and breakfast.
We were sorry not to be staying longer.
- Carolyn (8/5): Comfortable stay at Barb's Place - We stayed 3 nights at Barb's Place in Waipara Valley and enjoyed our stay. Barb and Jeff were very friendly, relaxed hosts with lots of local knowledge. They were helpful with suggestions for things to do and places to visit. Bedroom was quiet and king bed was very comfortable. Nice outdoor area for reading and relaxing. Within walking distance of the North Canterbury Food and Wine Festival, which was an excellent event. No "town" to walk to for restaurants, shops, etc but everything is a short drive.

- Mike (10/5): Amazing Waipara experience! - Barb and Geoff were fantastic hosts as we felt at home in their B&B. Eggs from their chickens, honey from their bees, & homemade bread were delights of the hearty breakfast.
We dined with Barb & Geoff and they served up local fare and wine that was as delightful as their company.
They were knowledgeable and well connected in the area so we felt like we got the local scoop on wines.
A highlight of our New Zealand vacation!
