Elope away with us

Elopement with a view and a touch of wine? We adore the team and what they offer at French Peak, French Farm. They are the most beautiful hosts in the most beautiful slice of Banks Peninsula paradise.

Together with Robin + Andie, we’ve found the perfect hosts for your elopement on Banks Peninsula. Just over an hour from Christchurch and 15 minutes from Akaroa, French Peak is the perfect place to have your elopement. An added bonus about this venue is its unique accommodation for two – a wagon! We have two package options for you to choose from.
