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.

Great location overlooking a beautiful calm bay and only 10 minutes drive Akaroa. There’s also a great Pub next door.
The room had everything we needed and it was very peaceful 👍

Tolles kleines Motel direkt am Wasser. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Das Apartment hat alles was es braucht, ideal für einen Abstecher zu den Banks, zwar nicht in Akaroa , trotzdem gut gelegen für Unternehmungen. Vielen Dank , wir waren sehr gerne zu Gast bei Ihnen 😊

Inchecken ging erg snel. Het appartement is erg ruim en heel schoon. Ook de appartementen op de begane grond hebben zeezicht. Er is een mooie tuin aanwezig. Echt een aanrader dit hotel. De omgeving is ook erg mooi.
