Cine Cafe is a small, quirky cinema in the beautiful village of Akaroa. Like everything else in the town the cinema pays tribute to Akaroa's historical French roots, not only by the films it shows but also the food and drinks served.
The cinema offers a unique, luxurious experience and if you close your eyes you could almost be in Paris in the 1920's. There is one screen with around 24 seats, all of which are extremely comfortable and spacious. They all come with a table where you can place your drinks upon, be it a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate (served in a mug) or a glass of wine or beer.
The cinema offers cheap deals which include a hot meal, drink and film. Well worth it! I would recommend this to anyone who happens to be in Akaroa. A truly enjoyable experience!

I can honestly say Borges Design hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It is located in Palermo Soho, the trendiest area of Buenos Aires which is home to a host of boutiques and bustling bars.
After nine months travelling around 11 countries, the hostel was a welcome retreat from other hostels which had looked great on the photos but in reality were run down and dirty.
The communal areas were clean and tidy and the double rooms were spacious and comfy. The breakfast offered a variety which is a rarity in Argentina where most hostels offer a stale bread roll.
The hostel offers excellent value for money and I would recommend the hostel to anyone planning a trip to Buenos Aires.
