In 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.

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

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

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