  Hello, Ali and Charl live in beautiful scenic Akaroa, Banks Peninsula New Zealand. Pompallier is in the French part of the township, with Milo our cat and Whisky our puppy, plus of course chooks and plenty of beautiful New Zealand native bird life. Pompallier is a very special property with a range of English, French and New Native gardens and bush, with roses, camellias, rhododendrons galore on a special large 5 acres of NZ native gardens, with the Balguerie beautiful stream running through into our another beautiful Fyrnebrooke property. There is a bush track right on the property within the heart of Akaroa. We strive to be as organic and green as possible with the the property, the gardens and vegetable garden is with the chooks and ducks that lay our own eggs. Pompallier has beautiful surroundings with views across the township and the harbour. Pompallier is very special, so central in Akaroa township with no need for a vehicle at all for your stay here, with all so close and within ease of walking 3 mins to most amenities within the township and further you can explore, with walking tracks and the nature and the harbour and ocean all around us here in Akaroa.
