Tresori Motor Lodge

This is a very good motel, close to the seashore and highly recommended

The units are old and not very clean. Good location for walking. Ran the water for the spa and it was brown. On the bright side it was quiet and the linens on the bed were good. It was hard to contact reception so didn’t bother to complain. Still enjoyed the sea side town.

The manager saved us as our original accomodation was cancelled at the last minute. The facilities and location of this hotel were perfect so we ended up extending out stay. Very happy customers. We would have stayed even longer if time permitted.

Lovely motel almost in the centre of Akaroa. We liked it so much here we changed our itinerary so we could stay a second night. The room was clean and comfortable and had good laundry facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable.

We stayed one night. The accommodation is in an excellent location and was very clean and comfortable. Our room was very spacious and well laid out. The room had all the amenities that you’d need. The staff were super friendly and helpful too. Would stay here again.

Family weekend away & this place was nice & clean, the bed and pillows very comfortable. The sheets crisp & clean. The only downside was one cheap fan for the entire 2 bedroom unit. Canterbury gets hot in summer And at 34 degrees Celsius I’d expect better, at least a fan in each room. Sleeping in that heat was impossible without airflow.

This apartment is beautifully designed and its views are stunning. I was however, very disappointed in the run-down and dusty condition of the living area when we arrived. One of the window catches broke on the second day. There were no placemats to protect the wooden table and the stovetop was very worn and it was hard to adjust the heat because the mumbers were hard to read. The manager argued that it wasn't dusty but sent the housekeeper in the next day to dust . He did not inspect the unit. During our five night stay the linen was changed regularly, but the floor wasn't vacuumed. There was a brush and shovel but no broom.The housekeeper was very helpful. The manager offered to change our apartment but on inspection we preferred the original one.

Due to our original booking at Bruce Apartments revealing no adequate heating, thus not acceptable to our needs, Tresori reception provided us alternative accommodation. A first class room, heating and amenities. Excellent service.

The motor lodge is situated just off the edge of the Akaroa waterfront in Rue Jolie South (which is separated from Rue Jolie proper by part of the harbour. The street holds many French-style cottages, reflecting the fact that this town was first settled by French immigrants. The lodge is also close to the esplanade which has numerous eateries, small shops and so on. Boat trips on the harbour leave from the wharf situated in this area. Our room was reasonably sized, with a bed, small table and a kitchenette with a microwave, sandwich press and electric frypan. There was a small refrigerator in this area. The kitchen drawers held cutlery and some cooking implements, and plates, cups and glasses were in a cupboard above. The bathroom had features such as a heater and a heated towel rack. Everything was clean and obviously well-cared for. The microwave was in a small cupboard with a door that hinged down from above, and we found by accident that it then slid back above the oven. It was important to push it all the way back to avoid the risk of bumping one's head on it while at the sink. i would have liked some sort of directory in the room with an indication of where necessary facilities could be found and how they worked - a laundromat for example - as we stayed at Akaroa at the end of our first week in New Zealand. The cost was good for the level of facilities.
