Holidays in Akaroa

If that Chrissie money you got from Mum and Dad is burning a hole in your wallet, why not spend it on a holiday to Akaroa? We assure you — it'll be a gift that keeps on giving!

It sits 670 kilometres to the south of Canberra, the capital city of Australia.

Bring the young ones along to experience what St Helens Point has to offer.

Are you in need of a little beach therapy? Feel the salty wind in your hair as you close your eyes and tune into the soothing sounds of the ocean at Dora Point Beach. It's the best kind of medicine around!

There's no need to travel too far to witness some wonderful natural sights. Dig out your car keys and follow your GPS to St Helens Waterfront, 8 kilometres away from Akaroa, for a chilled-out day. Or maybe St Helens History and Visitor Information Centre is more your style? It's located just 8 kilometres away.

For a peaceful spot to sit down and get stuck into a gripping novel, you won't do better than Percy Steel Reserve.

Binalong Bay and the Cerise Brook Orchard and Family Golf Course are quite close to the centre of Stieglitz, 6 kilometres to the southwest. After more? Binalong Bay, 6 kilometres to the northwest of Akaroa, is known for the Peron Dunes and the Suncoast Gallery.

Whether it's for some shopping or to explore the sights, travellers often take a day trip to Bicheno, 65 kilometres to the south. Bicheno Blowhole, Bicheno Penguin Tours and the Bicheno's Motorcycle Museum & Restoration are all within a stone's throw. Of course, don't miss out on Whalers Lookout and Douglas-Apsley National Park either.

Eating is among life's greatest pleasures, and since you're here, you probably think travel is too. Combine your zeal for both by getting out and sampling the local food and beverage offerings at a few of the bars, restaurants and cafés in town.

A staple ingredient in the cuisine here is beef. One more is salmon. Give them a try if they're not a part of your food repertoire already.

Ask one of the locals for their food recommendations and salt and pepper squid will likely be among the first things they mention. Meat pie is another regional specialty you might like to bite into.

Peach melba is a dessert that sums up this place in a single bite. Order a serving and then come back for seconds!

Good news, beer enthusiasts. You'll discover some lip-smacking brews to swig here. Relax with a glass of Cascade Special Stout and don't forget to text your mates back at home, 'Wish you were beer'.

Mixed or straight up — it doesn't matter! A shot or two of Bundaberg Spiced Rum will add some oomph to your night out! You should find it most places here, and it's certainly worth trying.

Start your night in fine form with a splash of a local favourite like Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon or Huon Valley Pinot Noir. Taste for texture, balance and structure, or simply have a bottle with your friends.

It might be time to wave goodbye, but it doesn't have to mean for good. Why not save your remaining Australian dollars for a return trip to this attractive region?
