Akaroa Lavender

Akaroa Lavender Akaroa Lavender is an organic lavender farm with short-term rental accommodations above Akaroa harbour. Akaroa Organics produces two types of lavender.

We also do seasonal guided walks focusing on lavender (summer) and conservation (winter). Lavender is an ancient oil that continues to have many uses. The name means to wash and originates from the Latin word ‘lavare’. It’s ancient uses include bathing, scenting clothes, healing and antiseptic qualities, and as an insect repellant. These days lavender is widely used as: a sedative, an anti depress

ant, an antibiotic, an antiseptic, muscle relaxant and in the treatment of eczema. The increasingly popular art of aromatherapy is helping this natural product make a comeback. Lavender oil is safe to use externally but should be used with caution during pregnancy. Our largest amount of oil originates from plants known as Grosso. Grosso Lavandin is a naturally occurring hybrid of Lavandin angustifolia and Lavindin latifolia. A smaller amount of oil is made from Lavandula Angustifolia known as Pacific Blue. This is a New Zealand origin lavender.
