The well located Motel is in a quiet location that is only a stone's throw from Akaroa township. The beautiful Onawe Track is about at its doorstep. The grounds were pretty with lots of flowers. It was the only Motel that allowed us to bring our pet dog on this family trip and we appreciated it. We also appreciated that they accommodated an earlier check in as we were passing by the Motel before heading into Akaroa.

I had read a review about someone having cooked for a couple of days while staying there. Perhaps it was only microwave variety food or pour in hot water type food. There weren't any pots and pans or cook stove in either of our 2 rooms. So just be aware of that if u are hoping to eat in.

The view was stunning, when the condensation was not blocking the view. The sound of the sea nature and native birds.

The bathroom was dated and I felt needed a fan heater, as it was very cold. Both the living room and bedroom windows were running with condensation every morning until night, not being double glazed ment there was a high moisture content in the unit. I recommend double glazing or air humidifier in each unit. The heater in the main room did not let out a lot of heat or dry the running windows.

The hosts were kind, welcoming & responsive to messaging. We loved that we could have our large dog with us (note:was understandably not allowed to remain unattended in the room), and the location allowed for plenty of close walks. Easy proximity to Akaroa & Banks Peninsula surrounds. Stunning view & relaxing spot.

The facility age is clear with water pressure, living area lighting & soundproofing, as none were ideal. Very clean for the age though.

THis was a very hospitable place and people running it. Gardens were lovely. It was warm with electric blanket, extra blankets and heaters. I didnt feel rushed upon leaving. and as I left they farewelled me with a wave . and I thought it was great that people could have their pets there with some rules around this.

It is situated close to the ocean. We were in a room with the nicest view of the sea. The little, peaceful location is just a short drive from Akaora. The employees are helpful and kind. At Dauvauchelle, we spent some time just chilling out.

Fabulous location with the most perfect views across the water. Room very clean and modern. No stovetop in the room but when I enquired if there was one available, I was offered a two burner one which was left in our room for our use. Very accommodating hosts.

Nothing

Great location, amazingly clean and comfortable, all the amenities you could ever need and more, and a very friendly staff member that checked us in!

The noise from the neighbours haha! But other than that, our stay was perfect.

Nice friendly staff and the beautiful lack view Free parking Hot shower 10 min drive from main Akaroa center Quiteness

Smelly room No choice of tea and coffee ( no decaf and no hurbal tea) Small TV

Beautiful situation and lovely apartment, with very comfortable bed and lovely crisp white sheets. We had taken our dog and were made to feel welcome. Would stay again. Friendly hosts.

There was quite a bit of noise from other guests - possibly inevitable as it was warm and windows were open. There was no stove top or oven, but lots of cafe and restaurant options nearby, which were very good.

Nice location. Ok stocked

Tight space. Bedroom had no space for bags Lounge had no space when sleeper couch was made up. Bathroom was huge though. When bed was folded lounge was sufficiently comfortable.
