Slow down, breathe deeply and escape for a while…
Discover a place where lavender fields meet regenerating native forest, birdsong fills the air and spectacular views stretch across Akaroa Harbour.
At Akaroa Lavender Farm, life moves at a gentler pace. Wander through the farm, breathe in the scent of lavender, explore the surrounding landscape or simply find a quiet spot and take in the view.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a peaceful weekend away or somewhere completely different to stay, this is a place to switch off, reconnect and experience the beauty of Banks Peninsula.
Stay somewhere special
Make the farm your home for a night or two and experience its changing moods – from peaceful mornings and birdsong to golden evenings overlooking the harbour.
Choose from four distinctive places to stay, each with its own character and connection to the landscape:
Kūkupa Matairangi – the lookout of the native pigeon
A special retreat with a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape and views.
Lavender Cottage
A charming and peaceful cottage surrounded by the colours and fragrance of the farm.
Kūkupa Puni – the camp of the native pigeon
A Tiny Away tiny house offering a secluded escape and the chance to slow down and enjoy the simplicity of being immersed in nature.
Kūkupa Taunga – the resting place of the native pigeon
A Tiny Away tiny house designed for rest, relaxation and an escape from the everyday.
Come for the setting. Stay for the peace, the views and the feeling of being somewhere truly special.
