Entries Close on 28 Feb 2012
Akaroa & the Bays located a short 83 kilometres from Christchurch, is a vacationer's paradise. Akaroa is one of New Zealand's best kept secrets, and the jewel in Canterbury.
Akaroa's harbour beaches are nothing short of spectacular. Protected by jagged volcanic cliffs, and predominantly volcanic, Akaroa & surrounds has a staggering number of coves and bays as well as a deep water harbour. Swimmers, sailors, sunbathers, hikers and sightseers will find this geologically unique and dramatic area.
