SHOPPING
The small shop in Okains Bay can provide you with basic supplies, such as milk, sugar etc., but we advise you to visit a supermarket in Christchurch or Akaroa to buy fresh ingredients. Coming from Christchurch there is a New World supermarket in Halswell, just a few kilometers out of Christchurch on SH 75. Akaroa has a smaller Four Square supermarket
The shop is open on Friday and Saturday night from 5-7 pm for fish and chips.
Be welcome!
