Wow! The hotel exceeded my expectations. Excellent location, gorgeous harbour view, very clean. Our room was spacious, well furnished and quality toiletries provided. I was glad to have booked the 3rd floor sea view, the double doors opened up to a fabulous balcony overlooking the Lyttelton harbour. Absolutely stunning.

Great motel, perfect location, wonderful view. Highly recommend. My room had heated bathroom tiles and I loved the layout with the bed facing the window, waking up to beautiful views of the water and mountains. Delicious plunger coffee included was a very nice touch.

Clean and modern rooms all facing the water. Seemed a good amount of parking. Check in was quick and friendly. Akaroa is small, so everything is walkable, but this motel was particularly well placed for the restaurants at the northern end of the town.

Nicely presented and clean accommodation. Very spacious with beautifully made up bed with lovely linen (very nice touch). The big pump bottles of high quality soap, shampoo/conditioner and moisturiser is an excellent idea and I wish more accommodation did the same to be eco friendly. Very good Heatpump and Heated bathroom floor a great extra for these chilly winter days. Having the Heatpump on before guest arrival would have been a good idea as easier to keep room warm than have to heat from cold at night. A light outside the door would have been good as so dark wasn’t able to easily put key in the lock. Very minor things so overall a very nice place to stay with easy walk to fabulous restaurants and shopping.

Comfortable room overlooking the harbour with great facilities, with the added luxury of a heated blanket - exactly what I needed. The lovely lady at the office (sorry not to have caught her name) was super helpful and kind, giving me a free upgrade and letting me check in early and then leave my bags for a few hours after checkout the next day. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

The king bed had beautiful pillows and comforter super comptable. The view was spectacular minus the houses directly in front but you could see the harbour and boats. Loved the location. Best place we’ve started at so far. Definitely would come back
