The location is great you reach the Akaroa waterfront promenade in a few minutes walk. The rooms are super spacious mine even had a whirlpool in the bathroom free parking and reception open until late. Correct prices for service and location

Fantastic location. Unfortunately room 8 doesn't contain the 'luxury' that signage states. It smelt absolutely revolting & we had to resort to wasting expensive perfume so we could tolerate the smell. The cleanliness was seriously lacking. It's the little things that count for a good review or a bad review. When booking the room for 3 adults, back in August it was discussed with Tom that 3rd adult would sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. The sofa-bed wasn't even made up, nor was there linen to do so. Not to mention the sofa was not of fit state to be sitting on, let alone slept on! Had to resort to rearranging the sofas & putting the single mattress on the floor of the living room to be slept on. Pretty appalling for what you pay for 1 extra adult. The carpet was very badly stained. There wasn't even sufficient numbers of cutlery for the 3 adults staying. Plus only supplied 2 single serves of long life milk on arrival. Very loose & unsafe plug in kitchenette. The towels were of poor quality & smelt absolutely awful! Not too mention we had to chase up clean towels each day over our 4 day stay! The vanity was extremely cracked so looked filthy & needs replacing. The shower curtains were so discoloured & mouldy. The water smelt disgusting so didn't bother using the spa. Normally I would discuss this with property management. However when we had management pass us in the carpark on more than one occasion & not even say hello, I thought I'd be wasting my time. So all in all a very expensive disappointing stay.

The motel is in a great location near waterfront and cafes/restaurants. The motel facilities are good with decent sized rooms and good bed. Generally clean although the carpet was quite dirty, needs a good shampoo. DVD players was advertised, but no cables connecting to TV. They advertise a lot of SKY channels but only have sport. In room entertainment was very limited

Disappointed with our stay at Tresori motor lodge. Firstly it is anything but luxurious. There is no air conditioning available- only a fan. Furthermore there is no WiFi in the room despite what is advertised. Despite us informing the management several times (together with other guests) that the WiFi was not working, their only answer was - what do you want me to do?
The only good thing about this hotel is the fish and chip place opposite the hotel which serves the best fish and chips in town!!

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.

Tresori is well appointed motel. Easy off street parking. As a motel it had the basics for cooking.
The bathroom was alsoclean and hot water was hot. Electric blanket on a comfy bed.
Staff were friendly. It’s very close (very short walk) to the shops and restaurants.
Internet was fast too.

Three friends stayed in a 2 bedroom upstairs unit for 2 nights on a wet weekend. The rooms were warm with a very efficient wall fan heater. Electric blankets were on the beds. Everything was clean and the kitchen well equipped. There was no stove top or oven but a microwave and fry pan, sandwich press and toaster. The owners recommended the fish n chip shop across the road called Murphys for dinner and it was amazing. Highly recommend the motel and the fish and chips. The accommodation is steps from waterfront, shops and walks.

This hotel is located a short walk to the harbour area and les than 10 minutes walk into the main street. Very close to restaurants, shops and day tours. The room was neat and tidy, although I probably wouldn't call it luxury. It had all we needed for our stay.

Only stayed for one night but we will be back!
This is a very well located motel offering quality accommodation. The check in was welcoming, the room spacious, the bed comfortable and the shower great. There is the standard kitchenette facilities so we were truly self contained.
Would return in a flash.

To call the accommodation “Luxury “ is misleading. Uncomfortable beds, kitchenette was just a microwave, (although the manager was very helpful and offered to put our meal in his oven), stuck away in a corner with no view of anything at all. Good staff and clean, but not what we were expecting.
