Akaroa is a small town on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for "Long Harbour", which would be spelled "Whangaroa" in standard Māori.
It is set on sheltered harbour and is overlooked and surrounded by the remnants of a miocene volcano. Akaroa is a popular resort town and in summer the temporary population can reach 15,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Outstanding service
Linda and her team have booked numerous Four Seasons stays for me over the last several years, which entitles me to the Four Seasons preferred partner benefits. Linda is proactive, very knowledgeable and outstanding to work with! She has been incredibly responsive every time I've worked with her; my last booking was truly last minute, so her ultra-responsive, friendly approach was especially appreciated! I recommend her very highly.
