The Suites Ashburton

The Suites Ashburton was a last minute find and proved to be perfect for our stay. Its right opposite the A&P show grounds which is where our son was playing rugby. The staff were lovely and accommodating. They even allowed the guests to use the conference room to watch the All Blacks play Italy at the RWC 2023!

The accommodation is on the main road so a little bit of noise from the traffic. It's also a little way away from the city center but Ashburton is a small enough town to be able to easily access what is needed.

Spacious rooms and good kitchen facilities, lovely and clean too. The couple who were covering for the Managers were very pleasant and helpful

Knew about the main road, but luckily the weekend trucks were lighter than normal so only woke once with a large truck passing One comment, any chance some softer lower pillows could be put into the rooms rather than high hard ones for us oldies sore necks - thank you

Very pleasant upstairs 1 bedroom unit with spa bath. Bedroom was a generous size with good bedside lighting, bathrobes and good wardrobe. Sitting room had good lighting and comfortable seating however the TV is rather small. Large bathroom with shower over the spa bath. The soap and shampoo dispensers on the wall were difficult to use with only meagre amounts being released. There were excellent laundry facilities available with soap supplied. We appreciated being able to use the laundry during our recent 3 night stay

Perhaps a longer shower curtain would be a good idea as it was difficult to stop the water from the shower spilling over the edge.

The staff were professional and thoughtful. The room, kitchenette was well appointed with most necessities (lacked a tea towel). Spa bath with shower and a bathtub mat for safety. I would absolutely stay there again without hesitation if ever in Ashburton again.

No tea towel. Everything else was provided including tea, coffee, kettle, fridge, a microwave, plates, etc.

Units are clean and in good condition

It would be better to have waste bin in the kitchen instead of having to return to the one in the bathroom. I could detect a very slight cigarette odour in the unit. The ash tray on the balcony suggests smoking is okay. It would be better to have no smoking signs in the unit and on the balcony.

Good place to stop over on the journey from Greymouth to Dunedin. Very nice staff.

The shower was not consistently hot, sometimes even completely cold again while you were showering

Warm welcome, clean facilities and everything we need.

If you were hoping for a quiet location this is not it. Being located right by the main highway and access from that road means their is a sound tunnel so the noise from traffic is really loud. However, thats only if you have the doors opened. We had an upstairs room so even though we had access to a verandah, the noise was loud. At night when all doors and windows are shut and the curtains are super thick, noise was greatly reduced. Rooms might have been quieter on the Racecourse rd side.

Very friendly welcome and very helpful reception. The room was well presented and comfortable and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. I would come back.

The surrounding area was typical main street of a small town and there was little to amuse nearby. But the suite itself was clean and good value and the beds particularly comfortable.

The welcoming of Sally, always ready to help. Cleaning of the room everyday. The laundry room, with washing machines and dryers at disposal.

A bit close to the main road, so the noise begins early in the morning.

Great property but on the corner of a very busy and noisy road with big trucks and milk tankers roaring up and down all night and day.
