We had a great stay at this motel. Handy to all the main shops, only two doorways from the French Bakery. Very clean and tidy. Friendly and helpful hosts. Checked out some of the other accommodation options in town, we made a good choice with the Criterion Motel.

We flew in from Adelaide, hired a car and drove to Akaroa - amazing scenery. On arrival found the Criterion and as it was a Saturday and after 5 there was no one in attendance but a note to me stuck on the office door. All good so far. We read the motel guide and decided to head to the local pub as suggested up the road as we didn’t to drive and we were tired. Great meal. Back to the motel for an early night. Next morning had brekkie in the room and took guide’s advice and grabbed a coffee from next door - very nice. Spoke to the lady who was looking after the place - very helpful and informative. Took her suggestion and strolled along the shore to the lighthouse and back - stopping for a great Vietnamese lunch. Again walked around the streets ( not many of them but we were right in the heart. ) Ate takeaway that night in rooms as we were still tired. Next morning we had to leave but spent some time talking to the owner - again very nice, friendly and helpful. The room was number 1 on ground floor with outdoor area and kitchenette. Bed was king and very comfy. We would love to come back to stay for at least a week but alas the motel is being sold to a local luxury apartment developer - hopefully it will be renovated and remain available for short term hire. Couldn’t think of anything in a better location.

Very good place to stay - clean, well maintained property and spacious room, reasonably priced; comfortable and quiet. Location is convenient within walking distance of several restaurants (and essentially almost all of Akaroa). We only stayed one night, but would definitely stay here again.
