Greeted by THE most amazing lady, gave us the run down on the town and where to head to. We stayed in room 8 , which was lovely. If you like a really soft bed, then this room is for you. It was very clean. Every thing you could need. Beautiful little balcony overlooking a lovely stream. Just beautiful.
great location, very comfortable, clean and reception was 11/10

Great place to stay would recommend
整體給到100分 超級滿意
Large space, super clean, lovely hosts. Location is prime. And huge parking space.
Hosts are absolutely outstanding and they are so friendly and welcoming. We had a garden view room which was really pretty with a creek. Very clean room and lots of lovely touches like shampoo conditioner and body wash. Bed very comfortable and a great place to stay. We are repeat customers.
Nothing I don’t like.
Lovely staff, super comfortable bed, really clean, great location 😊

Clean and superbly presented
Loved it all
The location of the motel was excellent, there was plenty of parking, so we parked up and walked everywhere. We had a two-room apartment, and it was very, very clean. The heat pump had been turned on for our arrival, so the apartment was lovely and warm. The kitchen was well equipped if we wanted to cook for ourselves. We were very happy with our stay and will stay again.
Nic, la señora en recepción, es muy agradable y dispuesta a ayudar
Fabulous staff and location
It was all awesome
Hotel personel was lovely, she gave us a lot of information about Akaroa. The room was pre-heated, so already warm when we checked-in. Bed was super soft and comfortable, amazing sleep. Kitchen was well equiped, also the balcony with the small stream passing nearby Is cretaing a perfect location to relax and having a lovely dinner or breakfast in the room.
Прекрасный отель, чисто, уютно, а главное - очень романтичное место, балкон с видом на небольшую речку - идеальное место для утреннего кофе! Обязательно приедем снова.
It was fabulous - spotless warm and so comfortable- Nic was so welcoming
Absolutely nothing
easy to find, peaceful garden
Very clean. Great facilities.
The location is fantastic, the brook that runs along the back is an added bonus, especially if you like native New Zealand birds. The decor is all very modern, and the bed is super soft. I was on the ground level and it had a lovely patio overlooking the stream. The hosts, Nic, Kerry and their little black cat Giz are awesome. Fantastic service and very accommodating. Great value for money, would stay here again for sure.
Fantastic location and incredible value for money. The rooms overlook a little stream, and if you’re into native New Zealand birds, the little patio I had overlooking the brook is a great place to spot them. The hosts, Nic, Kerry and their little black cat are exceptional. Incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. The facilities are clean, modern, and it was one of the softest beds I’ve ever slept on. Nice and quiet too. Highly recommend. Would stay again.
Good location. Staff very friendly. Good parking. Room was well looked after.
Would be nice to have a separate shower instead of shower/bath. WiFi was fast (Starlink) but signal patchy in parts of the room.
So close to everything and lovely private setting 👌
We had an up grade and comfortable and very quiet
Warm and welcoming; no fuss with delivery of requests; value for money recommendations, what to do where to go what to eat.
Just unstable wifi
This was the perfect place for our four night mid-winter visit to Akaroa. It is very well located on the main street, in walking distance to restaurants and shops, but quiet and peaceful, being alongside a small stream. The modern, clean and well appointed room had everything we needed. Helpful and friendly hosts too. Five stars!
Lovely clean rooms the birdsong from the balcony was beautiful the owners were very freindly and informative would definetliy stay again.
Very well appointed with quality throughout. Easy to find and an easy walk to shops, pubs etc. great advice from the owners who suggested a trip to Okains Bay where we Saw , quite serendipitously, a seal nursery, and they were about 2m from the bridge we were on.
Bed was too soft for me! Quite subjective.
The room is spacious and clean.
The motel facilities were great. The bed was sooo comfy. Our host was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about everything local....so much so we decided to stay another night. Highly recommended!!
Great hosts who gave us the best tips on where to go, what to see and where to eat. The room was warm and cosy and had a lovely garden view.
Nothing.
Die Unterkunft lies keine Wünsche offen. Die Küchenausstattung hatte alles was man benötigt. Unser Zimmer hatte eine kleine Terrasse ins Grüne. Schon beim Checkin erhielten wir viele tolle Tipps von der super netten Betreiberin, wie wir unsere Zeit vor Ort am besten nutzen können. Leider konnten wir nur einen Tag bleiben.
Excellent room overlooking a garden. Very comfortable room. Excellent host.

Accommodation was fantastic, warm comfortable, clean bedding was lovely. Fantastic location host was super helpful
Pleasant and quiet. Managers were friendly and helpful.
The receptionist was absolutely lovely, the place was spotless and the bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept on ⭐️
Quiet, warm and conveniently situated to the town of Akaroa. Easy walking distance to everything. I caught the bus from Christchurch to Akaroa and walked everywhere. The owners, Nic and Kelly were very kind and helpful suggesting places to visit.
Nothing.
Location
Everything was perfect. It felt like home
I liked everything about the property
The room was spacious, clean, tidy and great location walking distance to town. Love the owners, Nick was super friendly, funny, and helpful knowledge on eateries and activities in the area. We loved the extra touch with a nice toastie warm room on arrival.
Nothing we didn't like.
(1) the location - quiet and private, with great cafes and restaurants nearby within walking distance (2) the staff was super nice and friendly (3) the room was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities we needed
Maybe just the stairs? it wasn’t an issue for us since we only stayed for 1 night and had a small luggage. Just something to keep in mind if you’re bringing a few big luggages.
Convenient location, nice tidy room and friendly owners
地理位置好,酒店环境很好,前台的店员非常友善
厨房太小了,没有抽油烟机,电磁炉好像是坏的怎么都打不开,做饭的时候不得不开门,不然有可能触发抽油烟机
Great location, super comfortable King sise bed with beautiful bedding. Really great customer service. Lovely outlook onto native bush.
Super cleanliness, friendly hospitality, walking distance to cafés, shops great location. Room nice and cosy. Bath was a bonus.
Very good location. Easy walk to town even if you do not have a car. Convenient and yet quiet.
Was not able to open the door and windows to the yard as there were insects flying into the room. Would be good if there are net.
The convivial owner was incredibly helpful, welcoming and delightful, the location was perfect, and the facilities were clean, roomy, comfy and had a lovely little balcony that afforded a delightful view onto a stream and local birds.
Nothing! 'Twas all fabulous!
The rooms were lovely and clean, staff amazing. I love the little balcony in the flora as it feels very private.
Great place with fabulous location within walking distance to all we needed
Fabulous new unit with all the necessaries plus a few extras - loved the Kiwi snacks on offer though they were for purchase. Also great that there was decent coffee too. Nic on reception was super helpful to me as well. Brilliant.
Can't remember anything at all.
Lovely, spacious and well appointed rooms. Within easy walking distance to Akaroa cafes and restaurants. Friendly and knowledgeable hosts - will be back!

We loved our stay. A very comfortable room with an amazing bed and nice facilities. Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and well looked after motel. Great value.
Spacious, clean rooms and very friendly and helpful owners
It was clean with a very comfortable bed. The garden outlook was amazing in the morning, so relaxing to view it and hear the birds from our balcony.
Nothing.
We had a top floor unit with a small balcony overlooking an area of bush. We were regularly entertained by numerous fantails flitting around plus a large number of Kereru, the NZ native pigeon. It was an unexpected bonus.. Our bed was super comfy and overall we were delighted with all the facilities plus the friendliness of the owners.
absolutely nothing
Close to the shops Staff amazing
The stay was to short
The hostess was amazing, above and beyond, just sorry she did not join us on our onward leg!!
Great location, super helpful and friendly staff. Room facing stream was very pretty.
Loved the location, able to walk to everything in Akaroa. Nice hosts with lots of insight. Willing and ready to help.
Place is alright. Nice to have a little patio
Excellent place to stay for 4 nights. Wonderful owners
Nothing
Very comfortable bed.
Automatic fan on timer in bathroom noisy.
30 second walk from the pub.
Couldn't get the tv to work, not that it bother that much.
The location was excellent. The unit was very clean. Had a nice we balcony that over looked a stream.
The room was exceptionally clean and the hosts were just amazing. We were upgraded which we really appreciated. Excellent location.
Nothing to dislike.
Warm and friendly welcome from a fun NZ couple who evidently care very much about the comfort, cleanliness and facilities of their lovely Motel. Certainly the nicest we’ve stayed in over our month of travels. Quiet and well equipped and the whole town is v walkable. Free on site parking. We were so pleased to have included Akaroa on our penultimate night pre flight home - stunning peninsular.
