Accommodation Overview

Akaroa Criterion Motel puts you right in the heart of Akaroa, with the beach, shops, and dining just a short stroll away. Many rooms offer sweeping harbor views from private balconies or patios, while all feature a comfortable, modern design with underfloor heating, air conditioning, and free daily WiFi.

Each unit includes a kitchenette with a microwave, toaster, refrigerator, and dining area. Spacious bathrooms come with free toiletries and a hairdryer, and select rooms have floor-to-ceiling glass doors to make the most of the view. Outdoor seating lets you enjoy the fresh sea air from the comfort of your room.

When you’re ready to explore, Akaroa Beach is only 300 ft away, and the surrounding Banks Peninsula offers endless walking trails, wildlife encounters, and water activities. After a day out, relax with a glass of wine on your balcony as the sun sets over the harbor.
