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.

A seaside motel, very cute and the staff were wonderful. Perhaps a bit musty in the room , but you are at the seaside.

Lovely location on foreshore
Some facilities limited self catering .eg no bench cook top (but good micro wave ), no proper dish rack and very limited utensils .
Nice gardens but need a spruce up .. loved the resident bellbird !

The property is showing some age but this is made up by the staff. The rooms are spacious and clean. Isn’t only a 10min drive from Akaroa which has plenty of food choices.

Lovely little place in super quiet location. Nicely laid out little apartment with separate bedroom and bathroom from living area. A small bedside table or shelf might be an idea to save reaching down to the floor to turn the alarm clock off on your phone. Fantastic hosts that dished us up some slices of their own cake as they felt sorry for us dining on microwave meals. Top stuff!

Great location for a quite overnight stay with the children. Handy to Akaroa and awesome view. Awesome hosts, even kind enough to let us stay until the roads open after a late winter snow fall.

Clean and modern motel. Good stop between Christchurch and Akaroa. Only bad thing is no good place for food nearby.
