Lovely motel in a gorgeous place
Erica was very helpful when we arrived and gave us some great local information. The room was lovely and decorated to a high standard. Lovely outside space to sit. Very peaceful. Had a great night sleep in a comfortable bed. I wish we could have stayed longer in beautiful Akaroa. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

SERVICE N STÀY XCELLENCE @ LA ROCHELLE, AKAROA, NZ
Erica the host was friendly n gracious. Her service support was excellent. One kink was the matress when sleeping on it tend to be lop sided to the edge. The other kink was wifi keep losing connection to internet. A more strudy cutting/chopping knife would be good.

6/10 Good

Great location and excellent condition. Be aware that although the room is marketed with kitchette you are not allow to cook onions, bacon, fish curries or fry anything which makes it very difficult to prepare a meal. There is a BBQ but no light to see what you are cooking and the smokers area is a couch and ash tray butted up against the BBQ. Consider you needs before booking.
