Intimate cafes buzz with the wonderful combination of sun, coffee and conversation. Join the treasure-hunters searching boutique shops and galleries for a special find.

The captivating village of Akaroa is known for charming waterfront cafes but also has plenty of opportunities to explore the Peninsula by boat.
