Hotels extend hospitality

As well as pleasant strolls along the quaint streets of Akaroa, or a delightful cruise on the harbour, one of the other very popular things to do is to enjoy the hospitality of our local hotels. Two such establishments are Jim Smythe’s Hotel Des Pecheurs, situated at Duvauchelle, and the Madeira Hotel, along the main street of Akaroa,

At Jim’s Des Pecheurs, home-style meals are his speciality. Here you will find family-priced cuisine presented on a plate overflowing with roast meats, potatoes, vegies and gravy. You will be pleasantly surprised at the low cost.

Jim also has just built first-class motel units to help you enjoy an overnight stay on the Peninsula. It is always wise to ring first. You can phone

Hotel Des Pecheurs on Duvauchelle 803. The , Madeira Hotel, which has a long history of service to the travelling public, was known until recently as the Hotel Akaroa. As well as the recent name change, the Thompson family, who are farming people of the Peninsula, have also been busy in building on a new bar and installing a family bistro restaurant, which serves huge helpings of deliciously prepared food. Here, you will find a main course for less than $lO. The Thompsons also have good, clean rooms and comfortable beds for house guests. The Madeira’s phone number is Akaroa 9.

Give Shirley Thompson a call and “Come on .over” and enjoy real country hospitality.
