Coombe Farm
Just a five minutes drive from historic Akaroa
A small creek trickles down the valley of Takamatua as native birds sing in the trees. In the spring the fragrance of the blossoming garden fills the air. In the autumn the valley becomes painted with rich colours.
Takamatua means “to rest after a journey” and here at Coombe Farm we invite you to do just that.
