THE GATEWAY TO THE UNFORGETTABLE BANKS PENINSULA

LITTLE RIVER — THE GATEWAY TO THE BANKS PENINSULA

Explore the unforgettable

While Banks Peninsula is largely known for its biggest settlement, Akaroa, there’s so much more to its stunning hills spanning into the ocean and one such hidden gem is Little River.

Located on the way to Akaroa along State Highway 75, Little River is a quaint township with loads of charm and appeal. Two places definitely worth checking out are the café and art gallery.

Just 1km from the township, is our campground which is the perfect Banks Peninsula gateway to picturesque landscapes, beaches and scenic hideaways. Base yourself with us and spend the days exploring this stunning area.

Head to some of the different beaches for swimming or surfing or enjoy a scenic bike trail. If you enjoy bush walks, just a short stroll from our gate, is the entrance to an idyllic native bush walk. A must do!

Beaches
