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.

"We had only 2 nights and were fairly busy, so didn't get to enjoy surroundings and the property so much, but if you're looking for a place to crash, do some surfing, walks on the beach, have a great coffee from the coffee truck right across the road, watch something on netflix when it's all done, this is your spot! "

"The house is in a beautiful location with excellent views, and was extremely well presented throughout. As it's a little far from shops, you'll want a car although there is a bus service that passes very close by. We really enjoyed our stay."

"This stay was good and the neighborhood (including restaurants) in Lyttelton was quaint and enjoyable. The only drawback was the busy road on the side of the bedrooms. View of harbor is great! Treats in the kitchen were a bonus."

5/5 Excellent

"A very nice place"

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 "
