We want you to know that our beautiful harbour has many unique places to stay, for a quiet relaxed holiday a short distance away from the summer crowds who frequent the popular historic town of Akaroa.
At the top of Akaroa harbour you will find excellent accommodation in various forms and price ranges, from camping facilities, backpackers, motels, self-contained cottages, to farm stays or B and Bs. All our member hosts can help you with information on local history, walking tracks and things to do in their unique vicinity.
We have in our neck of the woods the Akaroa golf course, boat launching ramps, tennis courts, vineyards, a cheese factory, restaurants, churches, a historic hotel, fishing wharves, swimming, diving and boating opportunities. We offer tracks and off beat roads to explore on foot or by mountain bikes - all overlooked by our distinctive Onawe Peninsula, the historic pa site of Te Rauparaha's massacre of the local Maori believed to be in autumn 1832. (A chilling story worth hearing about from your host before you go out there to feel the horror for yourself.)
If you are looking for a more peaceful unspoiled holiday, check out what our members can provide for you.
