TA用户This was a lovely wee treat for my friend and I. The service was amazing, friendly, polite and regular attention. The high tea was absolutely devine! Full of amazing flavors and variety. The price was reasonable, especially for a high tea. We left feeling surprisingly full. Definately recommend and will be back.

悦行悠韵#創創塵計劃分萬萬现金 In New Zealand, in the southern hemisphere, there is a fairy-tale place - Akaroa. It is interwoven with romantic French style and magnificent natural scenery, as if it is a shining pearl left by God in the world. Now, follow this carefully prepared guide to start a unique French mountain and sea journey, encounter the wonderful world of volcanoes and dolphins, and have a healing date with cloud alpacas. Highlights of the trip - Take a cruise to find the smallest Hector's dolphin in the world and start a wonderful ocean encounter. - Climb to the top of the crater lake observation deck, overlooking the unbeatable scenery at 360°, and take in the volcanic relics of 23,000 years ago. - Walk into the same alpaca farm as "The Lord of the Rings" and interact closely with the soft and cute alpacas. - Enjoy French baked delicacies and the deliciousness of mussels to satisfy your taste buds. Detailed itinerary planning Day1: Play the symphony of mountains and seas, and encounter natural miracles - 8:00 Explore the Crater Lake Observation Deck: Standing on the observation deck, it's like having a God's perspective. Use a drone to take a bird's-eye view of the volcanic ruins 23,000 years ago and explore the black sand beach hidden in it. Did you know? The salinity of the lake water here is only 1/3 of that of the Dead Sea. People can float naturally on the water. Isn't it amazing! - 12:00 Stroll along the French Old Street: Stepping into the old street, it's like walking into the movie scene of "Amelie". Open a croissant blind box in a century-old bakery and explore antique shops. You may find precious Maori jade. The mint green post office and lavender flower wall are great filming spots, don't miss it! - 15:00 Start a dolphin adventure: board the ecological cruise ship, swim with Hector's dolphins (only in summer), and occasionally encounter cute yellow-eyed penguins. In order to protect the marine ecology, remember to ban sunscreen. - 19:30 Enjoy a picnic at sunset on the cliff: With the gentle sea breeze, spread a picnic blanket on the cliff, taste the local cheese platter, paired with Sauvignon Blanc and fresh mussels. The lighthouse forms a beautiful silhouette against the pink sunset, and this is a hidden photo spot. Day2: Cute animals heal time and explore the charm of volcanoes - 7:30 Enter Shamarra Alpaca Farm: Stepping into the farm is like being in the dream world of "The Hobbit". Feed the colorful rainbow alpacas by hand and learn to shear camel wool to make commemorative balls. Let me tell you quietly that the rancher also hides the special experience of "alpaca yoga"! - 12:00 Taste lunch on volcanic rocks: At The Trading Rooms restaurant, taste the lava grilled lamb chops and unique volcanic ash salt ice cream. The basement of the restaurant also hides artifacts from the gold rush period. You may want to explore it after dining. - 15:00 Set foot on the Akaroa Volcano Trail: Walk along the trail, touch the ancient basalt columns, and look for rare geothermal plants. Don't forget to take a special nature class - make a natural mask with volcanic mud. - 18:00 Attend a French manor dinner: Put on a vintage dress, walk into the Champagne Lodge, attend a dinner in the flickering candlelight, and listen to the ancient legend of the Maori war dance. At the moment of tipsiness, Pinot Noir wine is paired with venison tartare to enjoy the ultimate taste bud feast. Practical travel tips Transportation Guide 1. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Christchurch to Akaroa, but there are many bends on the mountain road, so you need to be extra careful when driving. 2. Be sure to experience the Harbour Air seaplane, overlooking the dolphins in the air, and feel a different shock. 3. You can easily walk around the town, but you need to follow a tour group to go to the farm. Food recommendations 1. Lava Rock's grilled black abalone, a unique dark cuisine, is amazing at first bite. 2. Ma Maison's lavender macarons are sweet and romantic, as if you took a bite of spring. 3. Vangionis's slow-cooked lamb shoulder is tender and full of the taste of grandma's kitchen. Pitfall avoidance guide 1. The dolphin cruise project needs to be booked 3 days in advance, and you must choose the only 2 regular companies to ensure the experience. 2. The alpaca farm does not open intimate interaction sessions in winter, so remember to confirm before going. 3. The volcanic trail will be closed from October to April due to fire prevention needs, so please pay attention when planning your itinerary. Hidden gameplay 1. Participate in marine life rescue activities in the early morning (reservation by email in advance) to contribute to the protection of marine life. 2. Collect 7 volcano observation point stamps to exchange for a unique lava necklace. 3. Shoot steampunk style photos in abandoned gold mines to freeze unique travel memories. The Bible of filming 1. Alpaca ranch: Use backlighting to make the alpaca's golden fur emit charming light. 2. French street corner: Hold a baguette in your hand, stand casually, and pretend to be strolling on the streets of Paris. 3. Volcanic coast: Use slow shutter speed to shoot the waves washing basalt, and shoot a silky dream effect. Here, even the air is filled with the romantic atmosphere of French chanson. The most unexpected romance in the southern hemisphere is waiting for you to sign for it. Come and start this unforgettable trip! #New Zealand Travel #New Zealand

139***20This store is quite hidden and looks very upscale. I booked a good seat in advance. The overall experience was very nice and the coupons were very cost-effective. The discount was very large, and it was indeed much more cost-effective to book online in advance.

M25***40The food here is really good. Must haves are the fried chicken and steamed eggs. The bibimbap is very authentic, although I don't usually eat the rice crust, but I ate it all this time. The staff are really nice and friendly. Will definitely visit here again!

36. Francesca's Italian Kitchen Christchurch

寻路啊呀Right next to the pedestrian street, the prices are slightly higher than the food on the pedestrian street. Not many people were eating at noon, and the environment was quite quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is open, and the chef uses a large spatula to bake the pizza. The potato skins were dug out very thoroughly, leaving only a layer of skin, which was delicious; the pasta was added with small octopus, which was fragrant; the pizza was relatively simple, which was also OK; the mocha maintained the usual Italian fragrant taste, which was great. Overall, it was very good. The service attitude was very good.
