The motel was easy to find as we arrived in Akaroa. Great location; just a short walk into town and there was a fun little pub and restaurant across the road. Free parking. The check-in staff were a highlight, super kind and gave us some tips on what to see and do while we were in town. They even had DVDs you could borrow to play in your room which I thought was cute. The room was as described and had everything we need. Clean, spacious, warm, and had a little balcony overlooking a stream. I'd definitely stay here again.

I only stayed one night, perfectly suited for what I needed. Cooking faculties good, bed nice and comfy. Free parking in motel car park. Good location, could walk to Caroline Bay penguin viewing spot, and also could walk to town centre and restaurants. Good sound proofing, it’s in the main road but could barely hear traffic. Staff very nice too.

Free parking available at the motel premises. There is a mall right across the street and plenty of shops within walking distance. The room is cosy and comes with a small kitchen for us to heat some meals. Convenient check-out by simply dropping the key into a Key Box. There is a common laundry for guest to use at a very small fee ($1~$4 if I'm not mistaken).

First impressions weren't great, its an old building. But the rooms are clean, the bed and its linen are superb, theres nothing not to like. The wc and shower were spotless . I had a drink on the bar and also ate there the Sea food platter was absolutely amazing, so much food for a really great price. The overall menu looked to have many choices. (there seemed to be quite a few meals collected throughout the evening). Free parking on the road directly at the front of the hotel.

Very comfortable room (complete with washing machine), great location and nice shower. Walking distance to some nice cafes and Merivale Mall. Possible to walk to city for those who like to stroll. Will, the manager, was very friendly and offered me an upgrade, as well as help when I needed an alternative for a single night. I had a car for some of the time and the motel has free parking.
