Erica the owner is very lovely and is always very accommodating. We stay here often and find the property always very clean and tidy. It is a great place to relax and recharge. We love the sound of the stream when the sliding door is open and the native garden surrounding the stream.

Nice motel for a getaway.

Great room, 5 min walk to the shops & waterfront. Place isn’t super modern and parking can be super tight, but its clean and quiet. Bonus it has stream running out the back that offers a nice place to relax & provides white noise for the night.

A very well equipped unit, clean with good facilities although bed a bit high for short people! A spacious unit but table area quite tight. There was only one comfortable chair when booking was for two people. Unfortunately no views with this unit.

Very clean and comfortable room. Owner very lovely and hospitable. Bed was comfortable. We were sad our visit coincided with a flooding event in the area so we couldn’t only spend one night here instead of our originally planned 2 nights. Akaroa and Banks Peninsula are beautiful and we hope to come back so we can fully enjoy the area someday.
