Wonderful location to view the bay and get around town. The staff was gracious and let us park our car there before we checked in. I especially enjoyed having more space so we could sleep in separate rooms. I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was great! Between the day we arrived and the day we left, we interacted with the employee Sabrina. She was helpful, cheery, and fun to talk to. Our room's kitchen had everything we needed to make coffee and breakfast. The bottle of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Having self-service laundry on the premises was good too. Akaroa is easily walkable, and this hotel made a good base.
