A tranquil Akaroa evening by the bay, so different from the wild weather we’ve just had.

After all that wind, even the kererū is taking a moment to relax — enjoying the sunshine and the harbour views!

A beautiful sunset over Onawe with Tuhiraki/Mt Bossu in the background — the perfect way to end the day. 🌄
Nature never misses a chance to impress!

The North West Arch over Banks Peninsula — one of nature’s most dramatic sights!

That glowing band of cloud forms when warm northwesterly winds sweep over the Southern Alps, creating this beautiful arch that stretches across the Canterbury sky.

It’s a sure sign of changing weather ahead, but for now, we’re soaking in the light and colour it brings to the hills and bays. ✨

The first green shoots are popping up across our lavender fields!

Spring always feels magical, but there’s something extra special about seeing our lavender waking up and beginning its journey towards that dreamy purple glow.

Save the date: Our fields open for public viewing on November 17th! By then, our Pacific Blue and Grosso plants will be showing off in different stages of bloom.

We’ve freshened up our guided tours this season – check out the details at www.akaroalavender/experiences

A little reminder: visits are pre-booked only (so no surprise arrivals, please!). Want to come outside the advertised times? Get in touch – we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Your tour includes our famous Lavenade drink, a chance to shop our high-quality lavender oils, plus a special little gift for coming along.

We can’t wait to welcome you back into the lavender fields!

🌿 New Collab Alert! 🌿
We’re excited to be teaming up with Hunter Hills Organics — a family-run farm producing beautiful organic wool jerseys (and certified organic for 25+ years!).

To protect the wool naturally, David from HHO reached out — and now each jersey comes with one of our organically grown lavender sachets 💜

Why lavender?
👉 It smells amazing
👉 It’s a powerful natural moth repellent (way more effective than rosemary!)
👉 And unlike mothballs, it’s completely non-toxic 🙌

Wool + Lavender = the perfect pair 🧶💜
Grab yours while they last!

Stay tuned for more about this collab — and grab a jersey (and sachet) while they last!
