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.

Brilliant stay in a beautiful location

Immediately was made to feel very welcome and the hotel team were incredibly helpful in helping to adjust some plans. The room itself is fantastic, with excellent views on to the seafront. Easy to find, easy to park, beautiful scenery, incredibly helpful host, couldn’t ask for more. Very highly recommended.

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 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.

A good base for exploring the Banks Peninsula

Check in very easy and friendly. The room was well prepared and very clean. The essentials were all there. The rooms are a little tired but perfectly acceptable. The information booklet with the room was very helpful. The view from the bedroom and main room windows is superb. Would happily stay there again.
