The motel is in a nice and quiet location but easy to get to other places. We had an upstairs room and the view was brilliant. The bed was comfy and everything was adequate. Very clean and quiet well decorated. An older motel but well maintained.

Very clean, good amenities. We were looking forward to using the balcony but unfortunately it faces the wrong way and is on the cold side in the evening. We enjoyed walking around the estuary.

The view was heavenly. Rooms a bit small only a curtain to separate bedroom from lounge. Not many kitchen facilities. Small tv. In short the location a small piece of paradise but motel a bit lacking in some places.

The room was clean and well equipped for a 2 day stay. Microwave, fridge, crockery and cutlery was all there. Great views over the water and the pub next door, but not too close. Great food and beer and wine, but dont do breakfasts. Thats a 600 metre walk. Bed was very comfortable. The roo. Was basic but comfy. Would definitely stay there again...we did not need luxury. Ian was a hospitable and helpful host with plenty of tips about the local area. Very glad we stayed there. About 10 mins drive into Akaroa...a very favourite spot on our Sth Island self drive tour.

The view is amazing! Lovely large lounge/kitchen area. The bed was very comfortable. Owners were very accommodating. We had our boat & the owners moved their vehicle so as we could park in their spot! Thank you so much team.

We found this a very peaceful, relaxing place to stay. The garden, sea aspect, and bird-life made this a lovely location. We also really appreciated being able to have our little dog with us. We would definitely stay here again.
