I think you mean the Banks Peninsula.
Now I'm mad that I didn't make the time to head out there. I spent a good part of Boxing Day just wandering aimlessly around Christchurch, and while I had a good time, heading out to Akaroa would have been a much better utilisation of the rental car. There's always next time though!
