Where you’ll be

Wainui, Canterbury, New Zealand

Wainui is a sleepy little coastal village with a wide sweeping bay looking out to the dramatic heads of the Akaroa Harbour. The beach has safe swimming, easy access to the water and excellent boating. The valley behind the bay is mostly farmland with pockets of regenerating bush jammed with birds that start the day with a cacophony of birdsong. The closest shop is in Duvauchelle for basic goods. Cheese and wines are available in the Barry's Bay Cheese Factory and frenchy Akaroa has a supermarket, bottle store, fish & chips, butcher, lots of restaurants, cafe's and boutique arty shops. The closest pub is at Duvauchelle which also has excellent meals as well.
