A REMARKABLE 

COMMUNITY 

Banks Peninsula and surrounds are areas of great beauty 

and history – full of optimism and vitality, combined with 

a very strong sense of community. 

Our people continue to make the Banks Peninsula area 

truly special. 

It’s full of dynamic residents who invest their time, 

energy and money into building a better place not only for 

themselves and their families but also the many visitors 

who come to marvel at the natural beauty this area has 

to offer. 

Our relationship with this region is growing as we 

continue to deliver stories about the people and places 

weekly through The Bay Harbour News – giving residents a voice and also 

informing them about what is happening in their community. 

The 2019 Banks Peninsula Residents’ Guide highlights the very best of the 

district and also delivers information on businesses and services available to 

those who live, work and visit here. 

In a district that is thriving, we are happy to provide you with an insight, into 

what makes this area the very special place we all know it to be.

A KAROA AND SURROUNDS 

You could be forgiven if you feel like 

you’re walking back in time as you stroll 

along the main street of Akaroa. Here 

you will find pastel-coloured architecture 

from ages past, all finished with 

decorative gables resembling fine lace 

work and highly-fragrant gardens which 

all combine to create a fairy tale-like 

setting. 

There is much to do here, whether you 

are seeking a restful getaway, a bit of 

retail therapy or even a chance to see 

ocean nature at its best, there is indeed 

something for everyone. 

The area has much early history with the 

area influenced through Maori, French 

and English settlers. Originally a fishing 

port, the area is now a tourist haven with 

both local, national and international 

tourists now visiting this village. 

Cruise boats frequent in the summer 

which create a business, however if you 

are seeking a more restful and laid back 

experience and want to avoid the influx, 

just check the cruise boat schedule 

which is available online. 

There are many activities to see and 

do in Akaroa throughout the year. The 

Le Race cycle finishes in Akaroa on 

23 March. There will be an influx to 

see competitors who have raced from 

Christchurch to Akaroa in one day. 

The Akaroa FrenchFest is another 

highlight on the events calendar. For a 

weekend in October you can bask in 

all things French and enjoy the sights, 

sounds and tastes of the culture. 

Things to do 

• The Giant’s House 

• A nature cruise to spot the dolphins 

and seals 

• Fish and chips by the seaside 

• A visit to the Akaroa Museum 

• Market day 

• Stroll along the waterfront 

with an icecream 

• FrenchFest 

• Kayaking in the harbour 

• Check out a movie at the Akaroa 

Cine Café 

• Visit the Akaroa Art Gallery 

MT VERNON LODGE 

With amazing views and great facilities which make 

Mt Vernon Lodge the only choice for your stay in Akaroa.

and accommodation requirements.

A KAROA AND SURROUNDS 

While visiting Akaroa there are also 

many places to find not so far away. 

Barrys Bay 

If you love to see artisan food makers 

at work, then take a quick drive to the 

Barry’s Bay Cheese factory. Here you 

can see how this handmade cheese 

is created as well as taste the varieties 

available for sale. 

Little Akaloa 

A little haven perfect for peace and 

serenity not only does this have a 

wonderful beach to visit but also the 

walk to St Luke’s Anglican Church 

is well worth the effort. Here you will 

find an English exterior combined with 

decorative Maori carvings on the interior 

– definitely a treasure where you can 

attend a church service on the first 

Sunday of the month. 

Okains Bay 

A safe family beach, camping ground 

and the Okains Bay Maori & Colonial 

Museum are all terrific reasons to 

stay at this little piece of paradise. 

You can also take a short walk on the 

Okains Bay Millenium Walk which 

features native bush. If you get the 

opportunity, the Okains Bay Waitangi 

Day commemoration at the museum is 

a wonderful day out for the family with 

traditional Maori culture combined with 

fun activities for all. 

Duvauchelle 

Duvauchelle is a pretty little spot with 

its own boat ramp, baches available for 

rent and an excellent camping ground. 

A great place to gather in the summer 

and make the most of the beach or 

the easy access to the fishing grounds 

of Banks Peninsula. The Akaroa Golf 

Club is also situated at Duvauchelle on 

Pawsons Valley Rd. 

Little River 

If approaching or leaving the Banks 

Peninsula area via Little River this 

township is well worth a stop. The 

historic railway, renowned café with art 

gallery and rail trail are all reasons to 

spend a bit of time here. If you fancy 

staying the night you can even spend 

the night in a silo which has been 

converted into accommodation or 

the local campground which also has 

access to the ecological haven that is the 

Manaia Native Habitat. 

Fresh fruit and vegetables, 

fresh meat, great instore 

specials, beer and wine, 

fresh bread daily 

Open in Winter: 

8am-6.30pm (7 days) 

Akaroa’s newest fish & chip shop 

Situated at 7 Church Street, Murphy’s on the Corner is the Fish & Chip 

shop all the locals are suggesting. They are a family owned and operated 

business, offering freshly caught fish from Akaroa Harbour, premium 

chips, the best seafood chowder made daily and fresh Akaroa Salmon. 

They are rated as having the best fish burgers in NZ.

L YTTELTON 

Lyttelton isn’t just a wonderful place to 

visit it is also an exciting destination to 

get to. 

Whether you take New Zealand’s 

second longest road tunnel through to 

the sea side, drive around the stunning 

meandering road taking in the vistas of 

Banks Peninsula, or even catch a ferry 

from Diamond Harbour, regardless of the 

way you get there it is certainly a place 

worthy of spending a bit of time. 

Visitors here get a real sense of the 

town’s resourcefulness with many 

businesses having a focus on being 

ecologically friendly and some with a 

focus of reusing, recycling and re-loving 

items others have finished with. There is 

a community garden as well as the LIFT 

library (life-membership $20) where 

you can find more than 600 titles about 

the transition movement, alternative 

currencies, sustainability and community 

development, economics, food, health, 

as well as DVDs and magazines. 

This eclectic township is full of 

wonderful coffee shops, delightful 

markets and plenty of distinctive bars 

and restaurants. Glamour Cakes in the 

Lyttelton Bakery is great if you’re looking 

for a mouth-watering treat, just make 

sure you go early before the stock runs 

out. 

In mid-winter the brave rug up and 

come to watch the ethereal Lyttelton 

Harbour Festival of Lights. The township 

and harbour become a magical space 

with food karts, a spectacular parade, 

buskers and markets all creating 

a festive atmosphere. The brilliant 

fireworks display is definitely a highlight 

of this evening. 

If you’re a boat spotter, Lyttelton is a 

wonderful place to watch yachts, cargo, 

cruise ships or fishing boats come and 

go into the harbour. 

Did you know 

The Lyttelton road tunnel is designed 

to cope with 2,400 vehicles an hour 

travelleing through. In 1965, an average 

of 2,805 vehicles a day used the tunnel. 

In 2014 this figure was just over 11,000 

vehicles a day including around 1,260 

heavy commercial vehicles, underlining 

the tunnel’s importance as a key freight 

route.

L YTTELTON PORT 

An Official Proclomation in 

1849 announced that Lyttelton 

Port was a recognised port 

of New Zealand. It was then 

construction began on the first 

jetty which measured 46m 

long by 4.5m wide. 

Since that time, the port has 

grown to keep up with the 

high demand of importers and 

exporters and now operates

this demand. 

More than 500 people are 

employed at the port, which 

provides specialised cargo 

handling and stevedoring 

services and plant hire. The 

port company also has links

inland container storage and 

a repair facility in Woolston. 

MidlandPort, at Rolleston, 

delivers a rail connection to 

the 14 shipping lines and nine 

shipping services that access 

the port. 

Some major works have 

been undertaken at the 

Lyttelton Port Company in 

recent years including the 

recently completed dredging 

programme to allow larger 

container ships to enter the 

port and also the ongoing 

development of cruise ship 

berth which will allow easy 

access on and off the many 

cruise liners visiting Lyttelton.

S UMNER 

Sumner is a delightful township with a relaxed feel, largely 

due to the wonderful soothing ocean which rolls onto a wide 

sandy beach. 

The township is visited by many in the summer, all looking 

to escape the city in search of a place to partake in their 

favourite watersport, play a bit of beach cricket or just soak up 

the sunshine. It is also a popular surf beach because of the 

high swell which forms in certain conditions. 

This thriving little piece of paradise, is home to some very 

fortunate people who have the ocean on their doorstep but 

also the brilliant amenities that come with it. 

A lovely stroll along the boulevard at sunrise or sunset, a 

fresh fruit ice-cream by the sea or a wonderful meal – dining 

overlooking the waves, are just some of the ways to while away 

the time. 

Here you will find a movie theatre, restaurants, schools and 

don’t forget to check out the Sumner Market which runs on 

Sundays between November and April. 

Did you know ? 

Captain Thomas named the settlement for Bishop John 

Bird Sumner, one of the leading members of the Canterbury 

Association. The Mãori name for the area is Ohikaparuparu 

("o" means place of; "hika" means rubbing, kindling, 

or planting; "paruparu" means dirt, deeply laden, or a 

preparation of fermented cockles).

O RTON BRADLEY PARK 

Tucked just back from the shores of Banks Peninsula, is 

Orton Bradley Park, a haven for all those who like to enjoy 

nature and the outdoors. 

This 650ha property was originally leased as farmland from 

local Ngai Tahu in 1845 by Samuel Manson. The Reverend 

Bradley then bought the land in 1859. Orton Bradley, the 

eldest of the reverend’s nine children, took over the farm after 

his father’s death in 1892. 

It was Orton who invented the waterwheel at the farm which 

drove the generator, providing power for the house and to run 

saw bench, lathes, a drill and grindstone for blade shearers. 

You can still see the system at work along with historical 

buildings which have either been restored or replicated. 

The farm buildings remain including a dairy, stables and 

implement shed. These protect carefully restored working 

farm machinery from colonial times including a rare cocksfoot 

thresher. 

The park was gifted to the people of New Zealand in 1943 

and is run under an act of parliament and operates as a 

public trust. 

Here you will find more than 25km of walking tracks catering 

for all ages and abilities. They range from the famous 

Rhododendron walk (20 minutes) to the popular Waterfall 

Gully Track (2 1/2 hours) and beyond to the DOC Packhorse 

Hut or Mt Herbert. The property has a large children's 

adventure playground, with flying foxes, situated next to a 

small stream, and we also have a number of short mountain 

bike tracks suitable for all members of the family. 

It is famous for the arboretum, where visitors can view more 

than 150 different trees from all around the globe and also 

the rhododendron garden which is now recognised as a 

collection of national significance. The property also serves as 

a campsite for self-contained campers all year around and for 

those tenting during the busy summer school holiday period. 

There is also a café which operates from 8am to 8pm for 

visitors or those just wanting to stop off for refreshments as 

they tour the Banks Peninsula area. 

The Park is open from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, 365 days 

a year. 

For more information visit www.ortonbradley.nz

O UTDOOR PURSUITS 

The landscape of Banks Peninsula is the 

remnant of volcanic activity of millions of 

years worn down over time by the wind, 

snow, ice and rain to create the beautiful 

rocky open tussock landscape we see 

today. 

In the wide open spaces of the Banks 

Peninsula area, you can enjoy tramping, 

mountain biking, walking or even 4WD 

experiences in various places throughout 

the hills. 

Here you will find indigenous species of 

plants, wildlife and wonderful views of 

Canterbury and the seascape. 

There is a Banks Peninsula Walking 

Festival throughout the month of 

November where avid walkers, trampers 

and historians can learn more about the 

landscape and surrounds while taking 

in the many vistas these walks have to 

offer. Visit www.bankspeninsulawalks.

Tsunami – how to 

prepare 

Your best warnings for a tsunami are: 

• a long rolling-motion earthquake longer than 

a minute, 

• a strong earthquake where it is hard to 

stand up, or 

• odd ocean behaviour: loud or strange noises 

coming from the sea or sudden sea level 

variations. 

Sirens will not necessarily be used if the 

tsunami starts close to the shore. Sirens will 

be activated if there is one to three hours 

warning time before a tsunami will hit the 

shore. Therefore you should always evacuate 

to a safe area away from the shore if you 

experience these warning signs. 

You can find these safe areas at ccc.govt. 

nz/services/civil-defence/hazards/tsunamievacuation-zones-and-routes 

Emergency Mobile Alerts will be sent to most 

phones for serious events which threaten life, 

health or property. Most phones are capable 

of receiving these alerts without any action 

from the phone user however there are some 

phones which are not. You can visit www. 

civildefence.govt.nz to see if your phone is 

able to receive these alerts.
