Akaroa Wedding!!!! – Stunning in everyway.
Akaroa is the oldest town in the South Island with one of New Zealand’s oldest interdenominational places of worship.
This tiny little red and white church gleams against the hillside and harbour. Directly behind the church is the ‘Kaik’ Hill. A unfortified historical Maori village.
The front of the church is beautifully carved; making the entrance into the church more special, at the altar you will find yet again more beautiful carving.
The Onuku Church was first opened in 1878.
Opposite the Church is the meeting house. Where the famous Treaty of Waitangi was signed at Onuku and is commemorated by a plaque.
If you are looking for the original small church then truly you do not have to look no further. This church still has the original floor, ceiling and even window catches. Please do note that this church has not changed over the hundreds of years – the people wanted to keep it as it was, which means there is no electricity.
Akaroa is approximately a 1 hour’s drive from Christchurch.
I am so happy to be able to offer this Church. Onuku is where my Maori bloodline is from and the Onuku Church is the family church.
