    Pros +

    • It?s outlook
    • Location and views from our room
    • Fabulous location next to waterfront. Lovely room, very clean. Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Places to sit outside. Parking just outside. Easy walking into town. Plenty of places to eat.

    Cons -

    • Needed some maintenance and lightbulbs . No communication - had to ring to find out where key was etc Never saw a staff member while we were there
    • Very slow wi-fi in our room was frustrating
    • The TV was at an angle which made it impossible to view; just a mistake in the positioning I think.

    This little hotel was so special. The owner and the staff were amazing! Location was perfect and right on the water. It really felt like home for the 2 days we were there. Free internet, Free Parking,Close to town. We look forward to coming back again.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-28-2018

    I loved the location of this hotel. The weather was not good but we could watch the ocean and the birds. There were many activities offered by this hotel. I would definitely return.

    10MaryPosted on: 11-29-2017

    Staff were friendly and Location was great! Place was clean and tidy everything we needed

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-15-2023

    The room we were in was only a few feet from the sea wall so it was very relaxing sitting there in the evening just watching the views.

    9LorasPosted on: 9-6-2016

    We loved the waterfront view and proximity to restaurants.

    9LynettePosted on: 1-27-2026

    Handy location and close to water. Comfortable and clean

    9Alison J.Posted on: 1-3-2026

    We liked the size of the property and were happy we could relax here. The location is excellent - within walking distance to everything in the town.

    The TV was at an angle which made it impossible to view; just a mistake in the positioning I think.

    8LynnPosted on: 12-3-2025

    It was clean, comfortable. Good location, we were able to walk to the good restaurants, cafe and bakeries.

    9DorisPosted on: 10-21-2025

    What a magical spot. I wished I had booked 2 nights instead of one. Elise was so generous with her time and helpful so I could arrange a massage. The setting and facilities were just remarkable. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Akaroa.

    10CourtneyPosted on: 10-1-2025

    Great location, right by water. View was excellent. Easy check in and check out.Easy walk or bike into town.

    - The bed facing the water- Sky TV

    When requesting for extra tissue box, the Staff said ok but never came back with one. Had to go to the reception and waited for 10 minutes before someone came.When checking out, didn't realize the return key box - not visible. Staff is always not in the reception office.No heater in the bathroomOne of the heater not working in the room

    7GraemePosted on: 9-22-2025

    The location was very good, right on the water and close to shops an resturants etc.

    The motels were a bit dated (although priced accordingly).The one area I would suggest improved was the bathroom. Shower was a bit average (better pressure and new shower head). Also there was no steam extractor or bathroom heater.

    10PattiPosted on: 7-31-2025

    Wonderful and quaint right on the water! Beds were excellent and linens were very high quality! Dishes were well stocked. Communication with staff was personable and engaging.

    I can’t think of a thing!

    8KeeltyPosted on: 5-2-2025

    Fantastic location, right next to the ocean. Great to have some tables there were we could have some snacks & relax outside. Rooms are older but everything was clean & worked fine.

    10BeaverPosted on: 4-30-2025

    Easy stroll to town, clean, spacious and sunny. Comfortable bed, good facilities

    7MaryPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Thé view

    The price for how small the room and trees in the way of the view of water.

    8MervPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Location right on waterfront Friendly staff and cat!

    Starting to be a bit tired could do with an exterior tidy up
