We stop over at Duvauchelle, a small town on our way to Akaroa. It's on the Christchurch Akaroa Road at the tip of the Head Bay that is part of a much larger Duvauchelle Bay. The bay was so serene and peaceful, almost like a lake. You cannot see the horizon from here because the bay is almost surrounded by land...that's how unique the geography of this place is....the sea or the bay rather, has gone deep inwards into the land. Notice the names around here sounds very French. Not surprising because the areas around these parts of Akaroa were first settled by the French in the olden days.

"Great wee spot, basic but all we needed for a comfortable stay. Clean, tidy, good location, beautiful view! "

"The property owner communicated with me right away that the property was not available “due to ongoing maintenance issues.” However Bookabach/VRBO still charged me for the visit. When I contacted the host about this charge, I did not receive a response. I wonder if this listing is a scam. Fortunately VRBO refunded my money today, but I should not have had to take time out of my life to rectify this. "

"Apartment wasn’t in a very attractive area but it was only a short walk into town. Welcome platter could have done with a little more cheese to round out the crackers but it was great to have since we arrived on Christmas afternoon. All in all great place. Beds were super comfy."

"Honestly, this was the best getaway! This place is amazing. Frances, our Host, was just amazing, she made us feel so welcomed. Don't be fooled by pictures, the unit has been set out so well that there is heaps of space to relax. The attention to detail in the unit and how everything was appointed was truly impressive.

5/5 Excellent

"We enjoyed the fact that it was very peaceful once we were in our unit. The water pressure in the shower has a great water pressure. The towels were fluffy and absorbent. The drink caddy was topped up daily. The safety aspect of handrails for the stairs and along the balcony was also appreciated especially when it had been raining. The undercover parking was also appreciated by us. Thank you for making our first bit to the South Island an amazing experience. Kind regards to the C Motel Whānau from Moka and Steven from Pt England, Auckland "
