THE ACTION COLLECTION
Club Lavaud
Akaroa, South Island, New ZealandDiscovered by Captain Cook in 1770, Banks Peninsula protects Akaroa Harbour, home to Club Lavaud. In 1840 Club Lavaud's namesake, Captain Charles Lavaud, led 63 emigrants to settle the area and, through the Treaty of Waitangi, pronounced British sovereignty. However, these hearty French nationals remained to settle Akaroa. In 1850, many British joined the French settlers and so helped establish one of New Zealand's main whaling and fishing ports. Besides rich history, guests will find great relaxation and recreation in the area. Experience the beach, tennis, horseback riding, and golf, all within easy reach of the resort.
