Overall this unit was nice and spacey, it was clean, but there was some areas that could have a little more attention, there was no table for you to sit a cup of tea on in front of sofa, also only one bedside table, the linen and blankets very nice, and comfortable bed. the location is a little bit further out of town, but is close to a pub for meals and drinks, also a little shop that also has a bar and simple meals. The view from the room is great looking straight onto the waters. I would stay again but not sure if the rate we paid $190.00 a night was a fare rate.

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.

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 motel seems to be organized for summer not winter, and we've stayed there in summer and enjoyed it. But in winter it is very cold, with inadequate heating and poor light. By modern standards it's not a good experience.

Such a beautiful location to stay. I had a stunning view looking out over the water. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The apartment was a very good size, clean and very comfortable. The area was quiet and had lovely walks on the doorstep. The only downside is I only had one night here - would highly recommend. Everything was excellent.

The place is ok, however what let’s this down is the fact there is no air conditioning and in 2023 I think this is unacceptable. It was a very hot day/night and had the worst sleep as was so incredibly hot in that room. Even with all the doors and windows open still unbearably hot. Also there’s no fan only a little heater fan which u can use on fan only mode. This fan does NOTHING. If the place had a AIR-con it would have been great but this was a big let down! DON’T book here if it’s going to be hot.

Relaxing stay at Duchauville (Akaroa).
The property was about a 10 min drive to the township of Akaroa. There was a pub that served meals next door as well as a General Store less than a 5 min walk. The owners were very generous in loaning us an electric fry pan which was really useful for our breakfasts during our 5 nights stay. We had previously been to Akaroa and loved the whole area and wanted a relaxing stay which this property provided. All units/rooms have uninterrupted views of the hills and seaside bay of Duchauville which is very peaceful and relaxing to return "home" to. Each morning we walked around the bay which we probably would not have done if we had stayed in the town centre. The couple who operate the facility were always on-site and were very obliging and pleasant to talk to. For the cost of this facility, we believe it represents outstanding value. We would certainly consider returning to this property in the future.
