Luxury Holiday Homes in Akaroa
Filled to the brim with natural beauty yet conveniently close to the metropolis of Christchurch, Akaroa township and its harbor are must-visit spots in New Zealand. Akaroa is on South Island’s unique Banks Peninsula. It’s the only place in New Zealand that was established as a French settlement.
The natural scenery and outdoor experiences that await in Akaroa also provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience. There you’ll find an enchanting combination of bays, hills, walking trails, and more.
Volcanic forces created The Banks Peninsula, and you’ll see signs of this history in the region’s landscape. The French settler heritage of Akaroa gives the town and surrounding area a special appeal, with fine restaurants and quaint buildings in abundance.
Paradise Palms on Beach Road
The Paradise Palms holiday apartment on Beach Road is unbeatable when it comes to romantic luxury. Enjoy high-end amenities inside the apartment and outside on the impressive private deck with an outdoor fireplace and BBQ.
Spending time in this property’s gorgeous outdoor area is easy. There is upscale outdoor wicker furniture provided on the deck. Spend time sitting near the fire as you enjoy the delicious food you’ve made on the BBQ and a well-deserved glass of wine.

This exclusive holiday home option boasts a large bathroom adorned with a spa bath as well as a shower. This room also features a double vanity that will come in handy for you and your partner.
There are a wide array of indoor amenities, including an indoor lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and full kitchen.
The bedroom features an enormous king-size bed and has floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. This is a second entrance to the deck. So it’s easy if you want to wander outside to admire the sunrise after you wake up, or perhaps the sunset before you’re about to settle in.
You’ll also appreciate the fencing outdoors, helping ensure your privacy. When you’re ready to explore the area, take the short walk to the Paradise Palms town center. Want to go to the beach? No problem. There’s one right across the road from this beautiful apartment.
