The Summit Road around the Banks Peninsula is so scenic and the views are spectacular, even if the roads are a bit gnarly and not for the faint of heart
Road tripping along the harbors of the Banks Peninsula are a must do!
We stopped off at a lovely pub overlooking Robinsons Bay on the way back to Christchurch from Akaroa. Breathtaking spot for a bite to eat!
Beautiful views all around driving in/out of Akaroa

Very clean, good amenities. We were looking forward to using the balcony but unfortunately it faces the wrong way and is on the cold side in the evening. We enjoyed walking around the estuary.
