"Rugged scenery, incredible style and every detail thought through. Hickory Bay was the perfect hideaway at the end of a stunning drive away from the hustle (though actually just 30 mins from Akaroa). All of us left recharged."

Hickory Bay Farm

On the eastern tip of Banks Peninsula, less than 30 minutes drive from Akaroa, Canterbury, NZ is Hickory Bay.

A truly magical place with consistent waves and rugged scenery.

Steeped in history, it boasts un-chiseled charm, appreciated only by those who choose winding rather than straight roads, where cellphone coverage doesn't exist, and where breathtaking scenery, meaningful conversations and uncrowded waves are found in abundance.
