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.
