Club Lavaud About the Resort

« Back to resort

Discovered by Captain Cook in 1770, Banks Peninsula protects Akaroa Harbor, home to Club Lavaud. In 1840, namesake for Club Lavaud, Captain Charles Lavaud, led 63 emigrants to settle the area. And though the Treaty of Waitangi pronounced British sovereignty for the area, these hearty French remained to settle Akaroa. In 1850, many British joined the French settlers and established one of New Zealand's main whaling and fishing ports. Beside rich history, guests will find great relaxation and recreation in the area. Experience the beach, golf, tennis horseback riding and golf all within easy reach of the resort.
