“The motel is located one block from the harbor. The third-floor sea view rooms are very large offering beautiful vistas over a smaller building across the street. A number of good restaurants are also close by. It’s a very convenient location...”

“We stayed on ground floor with a terrace and seaview (although parked cars and trailers obscured the view). Akaroa is a very small place and the access is through mountaineous and winding road. Anyhow the athmosphere is lovely”
