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.
Mt Vernon Lodge, specialists in all your wedding, conference
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.

1849 announced that 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.

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

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.
