Akaroa Video, Photo and Events

About Akaroa

Akaroa sits on Akaroa Harbour on Banks Peninsula, south-east of Christchurch and part of Christchurch City. French settlers arrived in 1840, and French street names and heritage buildings still mark the village.

For a shoot

The harbour inside an old volcanic crater, heritage cottages, the lighthouse and the hills of the peninsula give striking harbour and hill views.

For an event

Heritage venues, harbourside restaurants and peninsula properties suit destination weddings, private dinners and small celebrations.

Who is here

Tourism, cruise and harbour activity, hospitality, accommodation and local food producers.

Billie travels to Akaroa for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.
