Great location, room eqipped to sleep,family of 5. Clean. Shower head was super low for 5'5" not 6'1" patrons. Beds are old and mattresses not comfortable. Charged for everything, wifi, use of kayaks, DVDs, $20/hr to extend check out time after 10 am. Found the manager quite off putting. Would not stay here again, not good customer service.

We stayed for 5 nights in apt 28. It had a balcony overlooking the lake, the wharf and to the left you can see the lighthouse. It was a 2 bed apt with both bedrooms and bathroom above the lounge/kitchen area. I agree with previous reviews about the small things being the disappointment, such as the cheap toiletries, cheap appliances... More

We stayed in these apartments in January. We nearly didn't book because of negative reviews. However the apartments managed by Peter at the Tresori Lodge are clean and have spotlessly clean linen. Peter couldn't have been more helpful. ( He even left a surprise for us on our last night as it was a special wedding anniversary, Thankyou Peter..)The apartment... More

Enjoyed a two night stay in a ground flor corner flat ( no 23) which gave gorgeous views . We are a family of four and found the flat very spacious and well appointed. The location is perfect. Nothing much seemed to have changed on the cleanliness mentioned in previous reviews. A good scrub of the shower grout and vacuuming... More

We stayed here last year and arrived without a booking and cld not beleive our luck to get the same king studio with 4 poster bed. Shabby chic. Just a beautiful room, flat screen on wall and lovely courtyard looking across to the water with a lemon tree growing in the courtyard. This place is so cute and so appealed... More

We were impressed with the high standard of accommodation in these apartments, everything a family needed and a great location too. Service faultless, good value. Highly recommended apartment accommodation in Akaroa at the best end of the village, everything within easy reach.

Lovely decor and well equipped kitchen but not worth the extra money you would expect for a luxury unit. Should be marketed same price as other motels in the area as they let themselves down by skimping on the budget toiletries, outdated appliances and a threatening note on the wall about charging an extra $20 if dishes weren't washed and...

We stayed with our son in apartment #30 for two nights (we paid $255 per night). The view from the apartment is excellent and we did not really test the customer service too much so cannot comment on that. I have stayed at these apartments a number of times over the past 10 years and it seems that little has... More

A group of 5 of us hired number 22. The price was ideal for our 3 night stay, and it was reasonably well appointed. I think this complex is possibly a timeshare arrangement, as there was a locked cupboard and dresser - and this may explain why we were very comfortable in ours, where other reports may not have been....

Apartment was run down and needed updating in some areas. Sky didn't work and the receptionist said she couldn't do anything about it. Got woken early as one of the bedroom blinds didn't work. The furniture and carpet was worn and the bed soft from oldness. There were no pillow protectors. This was not a luxury apartment!
