Our second stay here. So many positives… super friendly welcome, studios are modern & roomy, super king bed was very comfortable, everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. Great views over the water from the top floor! Quiet at night. Free unlimited wi-fi. Definitely value for money. We loved being able to walk to many local shops and restaurants, and has a lovely cafe right next door.

We were very impressed by the super friendly welcome and attitude. Really nice, big room with a big comfortable bed and great view of the harbour. The motel is conveniently situated and everything in town is within walking distance.

We stayed in the corner room over looking the bay. The room was delightful, very clean and very spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We previously managed our own 5 star motel so tend to be very critical. This motel tics all the boxes as a well run professional motel. Clean, comfortable beds, quiet, spacious, great location, friendly staff, attention to detail- indeed well done Felicity and Murray

Owners Felicity and Murray are gems. Their enthusiasm for their town and their business is infectious. Nothing is a problem, suggestions for all manner of activities are based on personal experiences. Located one street back from the shore and in easy walking distance to all amenities is a huge bonus. Supermarket at your back door, cafe and restaurant next door. Thoroughly recommend The Criterion.

A long drive, flight and then drive out to Akaroa this accommodation was perfectly located. One street back from the waters edge, but beautiful view over the hills with a glimpse of water. Room was fully equipped with wonderful furnishings and very comfortable bed. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Great place to stay.
