The Wharf Akaroa.NZ. - The Small Seaside Township Of Akaroa Simply Oozes Charm. Nods To Its History As A French Settlement Are Everywhere, With Pretty French-named Streets, Lined With Historic Cottages Cloaked In Roses. While Away The Hours Browsing Boutique Shops And Craft Galleries, And Stop For A Pick-me-up Of Fine Local Food And Wine At A Café Or Restaurant Overlooking The Shimmering Waters Of Akaroa Harbour. Relaxation Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This! Photo
