This complex was extremely clean with great kitchen and bathroom facilities, although both were a little outdated, but it doesn't impact the functionality in any way. Spa bath, great sized bathroom and kitchen with good sized fridge made a big difference to our stay. The bed was very comfortable and a great size. Dining table and 2 large comfy chairs to relax in after a day of sightseeing was very much appreciated. The room had everything we needed for a short stay and had very good wifi connection.

There was a very strong air freshener somewhere in the room which both my husband and I reacted to. It made breathing difficult during the night and despite searching high and low for the air freshener (thinking it might be hanging somewhere or was placed somewhere inconspicuous) I could not find it. It was way too strong, and I can imagine would potentially be dangerous for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. While we really appreciated how spotlessly clean this room was the smell was overpowering. The complex is on the main road which is extremely busy so if you're not used to traffic noises all night this is not the place you would want to stay.

Very pretty motel, more like annexes to someone's house rather than a commercial hotel, with mini gardens scattered between paths to rooms. Felt very relaxing immediately. Rooms very spacious, good chairs etc, bed a bit firm. Air cooling with fans was adequate, kitchen good. Hosts wonderful, very friendly, well organised, lots of local info to hand, helpful re nearest supermarkets and general town layout, maps, etc, and other odd requests (thank you John!). Location enabled good access to local park, town centre, etc.

Car parking was very tight, and some other guests took up too much room (but hosts let me use one of their spaces which was great!). Also some traffic noise heard on weekdays (but almost all Timaru motels would face that).

It was exceptional for the price we paid and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff service was excellent being prompt with requests in a lovely manner. It had been well updated and the spa bath was lovely. Adequate parking and in a position in the town to access the bay and township easily. We checked out Centennial Park, the penguins and had a nice meal at the Bay Hill Bar. Glad we did.

The wifi dropped out a few times.

The apartment units were immaculately clean, super comfortable. And had every thing you needed to be able to cook and live comfortably if you were staying longish term. Great size rooms. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Easy check in and out process.

It's on the state highway, so there is a bit of traffic noise. But to be fair a large percentage of Timaru accommodation is on the highway, so they have the same traffic noise.

Very friendly welcome. Fantastic location within a short walk to supermarket and fast foods. My King studio was modern, roomy, and spotlessly clean with extras like a full oven, shower & separate bath. Bed was comfy with electric blanket etc being mid winter. Definitely value for money here.

The only downside is the road noise being on SH1 and the units aren’t double glazed. It didn’t worry me as my unit was further away from the road. But if you’re a light sleeper the road noise might be an issue.

The rooms were good size, bed comfortable, kitchen and bathroom was good and provided wat we needed and location was good for our needs.

While i said the location was good, it also wasn't good merely because the motel is on the main road of Timaru so traffic was loud all day and even during the night. There's nothing you can do about that but if you are a light sleeper it could be an issue.

Loves the accommodation. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. The set up suited our family perfectly.

The WiFi was very slow and cutting out so we used our own data. Would be good if there was a dish rack to dry dishes as the tea towel and small cleaning cloth doesn't cut it when it is not changed daily. We ended up buying dettol wipes to wipe the bench down.

I enjoyed my stay. Facility is great no issues with cleanliness. Room and beds were warm and comfortable.

I didn’t like that I couldn’t change my booking to two nights due to changed plans and lost half my money for the last night that I had to cancel. Next time I would prefer a place with more flexibility and only book one night at a time.

Room was clean and warm. Very little road noise. Shower was great with awesome pressure. Good off street parking.

Room was serviced on the second morning and the toilet paper was never topped up. Unfortunately we arrived late back that night and had to get some from a convenience shop.
