30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜
-- About this video –
After an epic week of doing many wildlife and water activities in Akaroa (just see our Akaroa playlist - ) we are taking the time to explore Akaroa town itself, which is dubbed the French capital of New Zealand.
Our exploration of Akaroa brings us to the Giant’s House in Akaroa – a garden full of mosaic sculptures and water features. It’s the most colourful New Zealand garden you’ll ever see!
After the Akaroa Giants House we venture to the Akaroa Lighthouse. It’s a lighthouse that unusually sits in the middle of the harbour rather than at the end of it.
So what do you think of the New Zealand town of Akaroa? Would you add Akaroa to your New Zealand itinerary? LUK in the comments!

NEW ZEALAND: AKAROA :DILEMMA FOR FRENCH SETTLEMENT VILLAGE
English/Nat
As France and New Zealand bicker over proposed nuclear testing in the South Pacific, a tiny community in New Zealand's island is caught in a dilemma.
Akaroa is the only French settlement in New Zealand, but Paris' decision to resume nuclear testing has divided its 700 inhabitants over their French heritage.
Bank's Peninsula on New Zealand's South Island is an area steeped in French tradition, dating back to the arrival of settlers from France in the first half of the 19th century.
The harbour settlement of Akaroa's old colonial buildings and narrow winding streets, many of them with French names, makes it one of the South Island's most popular tourist attractions.
But President Jacques Chirac's decision to resume nuclear testing in the South Pacific has turned New Zealanders against all things French, even in this French enclave.
The first victim of anti-French sentiments is likely to be the French Festival held each October in Akaroa.
The local arts council has already withdrawn its support from the festival and many shops and businesses are also threatening to pull out.
SOUNDBITE:
My chefs...we're supposed to have a champagne breakfast here...and my staff are totally opposed to it...I'm afraid I've got to listen to what they say...and if they're not happy about doing it...well then we won't be proceeding with our contribution to the French festival.
SUPER CAPTION: Mark Smith - Hotel owner
Anti-French feeling has been shown at the spot where the first settlers arrived.
One night, the tricolor flag was ripped down and the flagpole damaged.
Local baker David Beattie says he's waiting for things to calm down before he restores them.
SOUNDBITE:
We'll put it up in the near future but obviously we're concerned about no additional damage may be done and the anti-French feeling at the moment due to the planned tests.
SUPER CAPTION: David Beattie - Akaroa baker
The village museum contributes to preserving Akaroa's proud French past which records the arrival of the first immigrants, and more recently, a visit by former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard, back in 1991.
The scenes around Akaroa would have supplied infinite inspiration for the great French painters.
Vineyards are found throughout Banks Peninsula's valleys and business is booming.
One of the local entrepreneurs is Lloyd Edwards.
He manages the French farm restaurant and is also organising this year's French festival.
Edwards is determined the festival will go ahead as usual.
SOUNDBITE:
If I was to sum it up, there would probably be 95 percent of people in the area who are very nervous about the resumption of French nuclear testing, but by the same token are very parochial in the sense that they feel the tradition here is a tradition that is unique and not owned by the French government. So from that point of view what we are trying to emphasise is the fact that it's a nuclear free French festival.
SUPER CAPTION: Lloyd Edward - Akaroa French Festival organiser
The wife of a former French ambassador to New Zealand criticised the French president's lack of tact in announcing it would resume the nuclear tests.
SOUNDBITE:
You see, I think Chirac has to go to China to learn diplomacy because the Chinese do not announce it - they just go and do it. They shouldn't do it, but I found that most stupid. Months ahead he has created all that uproar in New Zealand and in Australia.
SUPER CAPTION: Mrs Sunley-Henry, Akaroa resident
Anti-French feelings caused by the resumption of nuclear testing in the South Pacific mean that the only French visitors these days are members of the international press.

In this video, we take the beautiful drive to Arthurs Pass where we were able to get up nice and close to the world's only alpine parrot the Kea.
The day after visiting Arthur's Pass we headed to Akaroa, New Zealand's French town, a beautiful little harbour and resort town. This was the last place we visited on the South Island of New Zealand before we flew up to the North Island to continue our road trip.
This is the eighth part of our New Zealand videos. New Zealand was the first country we ever travelled to as a couple so to come back after five years is great. In this series we want to show you what to do in nz while travelling New Zealand in a campervan.
