The stay and accommodation was good, a little tired, the room could do with having A bit of a spruce up and the Venetian blinds needed replacing. Sky wasn’t working and the tv wasn’t user friendly so couldn’t use other than Netflix. Definitely needed aircon in the heat and there wasn’t any. Staff were very friendly and the stay was overall pretty good and comfortable. Thank you.

Nice place to stay, but very poor wi-fi! Very irritating if you want to keep up with relatives or make some work-related issues. It was an important issue for us so we would not recommend this place. When arriving - a person in the reception with hardly no experience of English…not so good when you want to ask for advice on your stay and surroundings!

Great beds and lovely clean spa bath and a shower with good water pressure. What more could we want?! Also great location - walkable - 2 mins to some delicious Akaroa eating places. We will definitely stay again - thank you.

Sorry guys but your unit was below standard. Yes great location and was clean but basic stuff like cupboard in front of microwave broken and had to hold door up when used, shower rail stuck high, jug wont turn off automatically, heating below par for early winter stay as unit got cold during the night, toilet seat lid cracked. Easy stuff to fix but suspect has been like that for a while.

Men jeg havde jo bestil på motel - næste gang vil jeg nok sikre mig at opgradere til et hotel med vandudsigt. Personalet var flinke og hjælpsomme og fik mit rum før normal in checkning da jeg kom flere timer for tidligt

We arrived for check in and found out our room was on the 2nd floor and we were alittle disappointed having to carry our suitcases and I said, “oh no” and I explained to the operator and he checked to see if there was another free room available and swapped us straight away. Thank you Tresori for being so accommodating and understanding and we appreciate it!

Reception - not much personality there. Very convenient complex, well maintained, mostly clean and tidy. Only issue was the lack of towels, two clients, but only one hand/face towel. Rubbish bin in cupboard needs some attention. Carpet needs some cleaning. No instruction as to what to do with key at end of booking so just left it in the room.

Das Hotel ist zentral gelegen. In wenigen Minuten ist man bei der Bootsanlegestelle, wo man div. Aktivitäten buchen kann. Hier befinden sich auch viele Esslokalen und Geschäfte. Über GetYourGuide haben wir die Pohatu Penguins Scenic Nature Tour gebucht (4-stündige Tour). Eine fantastische Tour mit Pinguinen, Lämmer füttern und viele Informationen über die nähere Umgebung. Zu Fuß, in ca. 15 Minuten, erreicht man das Giants Haus in Akaroa. In Besuch ist absolut empfehlenswert. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
