    I wanted to stay another night but it was booked out, it's perfect location and price. I had good coffee from a lovely Food Van, Gin tasting on the main street and evening meal at the Hotel. Such a beautiful place to stay.

    We booked 2hours before arriving and were so happy when we saw our room was overlooking the water:-). Everything was CLEAN and well equipped to make your stay comfortable. The location is excellent. We dined out at The Common for dinner and the food was delicious. The Motel is within walking distance to town.

    What a superb location overlooking the water, in a pretty town amid the breathtaking landscape of te Banks Peninsula. Akaroa Waterfront Motels were well-run, welcoming, kept in great condition and made the most of a fabulous location. Just what we needed.

    Big comfortable bed, good coffee provided for the plunger, great view and plenty of space to relax in. The motel is very central to amenities, walk around the corner to the 4 square store, and plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars within walking distance too. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Good wifi.
