Best Duvauchelle Hotels

The property is about a 10 min drive to the township of Akaroa. There was a pub that served meals next door as well as a General Store less than a 5 min walk. The owners were very generous in loaning us an electric fry pan which was really useful for our breakfasts during our 5 nights stay. We had previously been to Akaroa and loved the Banks peninsula area and wanted a relaxing stay which this property provided. All units/rooms have uninterrupted views of the hills and seaside bay of Duchauville which is very peaceful and relaxing to return ”home” to. Each morning we enjoyed walking around the bay which we probably would not have done if we had stayed in the town centre. The couple who operate the facility were always on-site and were very obliging and pleasant to talk to. For the cost of this facility, we believe it represents outstanding value. We would certainly consider this property on a future return.

The hotel is right by the sea, the room is in the back, and the car is parked in the parking lot of the hotel, free of charge, apartment hotel on the 1-2 floor. The navigation guide enters from the parking lot behind the hotel. The front desk is in the building by the sea. The front desk is very enthusiastic and sent a small bottle of milk for coffee. The room is one living room and two rooms, and the bathroom is large. One room has a large bed, and the other room has 2 single beds. There is a living room with an open kitchen. The kitchen is small and has no balcony. There are hair dryers, kettles, microwave ovens, stoves, towels, only soap, no bath products. There were too few tables, there was no place to put things, so I had to move the round table on the balcony to use. New Zealand hotels provide free coffee and tea bags, and it feels good to drink coffee every day. Clean the dishes and stoves after they are used up, otherwise the hotel will charge a cleaning fee. The room is fairly clean, the living room has an air conditioner with heating function, and the room can use the heater in the wardrobe. Hot foot The commercial area, restaurants and bars are very close, you can walk there. The supermarket can be walked, but it is more convenient to drive. There is a museum opposite the supermarket. It is free. You can take a look at it from 10:30. The lighthouse is not far from the hotel, you can walk or drive, and there are free parking spaces next to the lighthouse The hotel does not include breakfast, check out at 10 o'clock on time

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.
