Akaroa is a small town on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for "Long Harbour", which would be spelled "Whangaroa" in standard Māori.
It is set on sheltered harbour and is overlooked and surrounded by the remnants of a miocene volcano. Akaroa is a popular resort town and in summer the temporary population can reach 15,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Diane Ross from Kingsbridge Travel did an amazing job planning my honeymoon.
We toured Italy and France, and Diane truly did all the work. I would recommend Diane and Kingsbridge Travel to anyone and everyone who is looking to plan a trip abroad. Without her, so much unnecessary stress would have been added during the trip. Book with a travel agent... there's no need to handle it on your own because you will forget something. Thanks Diane for everything!
