阿卡羅阿確實是個很適合度假的小鎮,酒店沒有電梯。房間非常非常大,床也非常大。 有餐具,和微波爐,但沒有爐具。這麼有風味的陽台,沒能吃頓牛排有點小可惜

motel的位置非常好,就在海邊,推開陽台門就能直面海景,另外附近很多好吃的小店,天氣好的話散步非常舒服~不過房間設施有點年代了,隔音也不是很好,但是瑕不掩瑜還是值得推薦~

We really couldn't fault the motel. We were greeted by Margie who was super helpful and welcoming. The room while a little dated was large with everything we needed. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. Bed was comfy too. It's a great location to explore Akaroa and only a stones throw from the water. There are a number cafés and restaurants within walking distance and a supermarket just round the corner. I would highly recommend the motel to others.

Stayed 2 nights here and was very impressed to find real milk for my tea, tissues, heating, a lounge and lounge chair plus easy access to the supermarket, eateries and the waterfront.

Spotlessly clean, well maintained and spacious. Comfortable bed, warm and quiet with everything we needed. Double doors opening onto a balcony (upstairs room) with a wide view of the bay. Friendly owners and very affordable – perfect location to stay in Akaroa.
