Zed rock star buys historic Akaroa gem
Rock star turned Akaroa restaurateur Ben Campbell is planning to breathe new life into one of the best-known historic landmarks in the small Banks Peninsula town, southeast of Christchurch.
Campbell is the bass guitarist for pop rock group Zed, who topped the charts in 2000 with Renegade Fighter and later Glorafilia.
A dual resident of Akaroa and Christchurch for the past six years, Campbell has bought the Grand Hotel, the adjacent Waeckerle’s Cottage, and 1909 square metres of surrounding land, for an undisclosed sum ahead of auction.
He already owns Ma Maison restaurant in the township as well as co-owning Mandala restaurant.
