Naumai - French Bay House Akaroa

On Rue Jolie, at the corner of Walnut Place, is a beautiful home that represents the interface of French and English ambition in the early days of Akaroa, but it originally had a Maori Name.

Naumai, meaning 'welcome' was the 1868 birthname of the home now trading as French Bay House B&B, a spectacular example of the vernacular which has heritage status and has been immaculately restored. The house is overflowing with character and period charm, might be found to be flying a French flag, and is also well regarded for a high level of hospitality.
