Akaroa Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

The day's drive was out to the Bank's Peninsula, formed after a volcano erupted and destroyed itself a few hundred years ago.  Arakoa is the main attraction here...a nice little touristy town overlooking French Bay.  A very French outpost, all the street names started with Rue.  Fitting that we found a little cafe with French food for lunch.  An...

Saturday 27th September Straight to Christchurch in the morning, popped into Explore depot to find out where it was and to complain about leaky roof etc and ask for one extra night compensation. Then headed out via Littleton to the Banks Peninsular to look at the ex-French whaling colony of Akaroa. The closer we got the worse the weather became ...

Welcome to the window of my world.. Since i last mailed you all i have been pretty much flat out on the farm in Akaroa.. 95% of my time has been spent doing carpentry in a small 18th century clay house that Shireen has been building over the past 4 years. The building is (as said) mostly made up of clay but also includes a bit of mud and a healt...

Tuesday 25th March 2008: Originally we were going to drive to Methven and stay the night there but we changed our plans and drove to Akaroa instead (giving us more time there and more time to drive back to Christchurch the next day).

We drive a mile to the supermarket where he parks in the SMALLEST slot and in the process takes part of the flowerbed with him. (yes I know I crash...

Name: Tim Francis Age: 25 Family status: Single (with a girlfriend) Job: Pub Manager/Bartender/Chef Religion: No religion, does not believe in this thing . I spend the afternoon endulging my senses in the delicate, picturesque surroundings of Akaroa. I walk up the hill, not a single soul in sight. The weather is undecided whether to rain or shin...

This morning we left Christchurch and took the "scenic" route to Akaroa, also known as the ooooo what's down this road route. We went through Lyttelton and around the cauldera to Diamond Harbour where there is nothing except a "wharf" which is more like a dock. From there we went to "Port" Levy, which is a couple of fallen over broken pier pilin...

Thurs. 9th Feb.... Timaru and Akaroa We left Olive Grove Lodge, which I would recommend, and headed north through, Oamaru and Timaru on our way to Akaroa. Oamaru has lots of elegant sandstone buildings as does Timaru - this is sheep farming country - Timaru has lovely gardens and a carnival each year on sandy Caroline Bay - it is a very historic...
