These pics were taken at The Giants House, owned by a local artist Josie, the house was originally built in 1880 for Akaroa's first BNZ Manager, the house is called "Linton" named after the town in England the bank manager came from. Josie has created amazing colourful mosaic sculptures, there are nearly 30 of them in and around the house, her paintings which adorn the house are equally colourful. Trekessa and I visited in January, and I made a return trip with friends a couple of weekends ago. The grounds have been landscaped by Josie and are just as colourful. It's a must see!
