What people say

Sarah Geiger

"The Banks Peninsula is just 1,5 hours drive from Christchurch and therefore the perfect place for a getaway from the city. The Peninsula is of volcanic origin and two prominent craters formed Lyttleton and Akaroa Harbours. Day trips, 2 days, a long weekend or even longer. There is enough to be explored to fill some days. The Peninsula counts with innumerable bays and amazing landscape. This is truly a haven of relaxation to fill up on energy away from the hustle and bustle of the city."
