Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Big rooms and comfortable bed

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spa was excellent, bed extremely comfortable Hosts very welcoming and going the extra mile.

Miinukset: Very cold heater and tv on timer kept cutting outwe

Plussat: Wifi and the unlimited sky channels, the beds were comfortable and the room was spacious and had a good heat pump. The staff were very accommodating and the parking was excellent

Miinukset: The shower could have a little bit more pressure

Plussat: Incredibly comfortable beds Big room Sky tv Spa bath Wonderful friendly host/owner Very clean Absolutely loved our stay - will definitely be back!!

Miinukset: We loved everything about it - our only small issue was that the wifi wouldn’t work for us - had we told the excellent host that it wasn’t working I’m sure it would have been sorted but we were so busy we didn’t really have time to play around on it anyway.

Plussat: Great size family room ample enough for a family of 3. Nice friendly staff and great value for money

Plussat: Spa bath, bed, friendly lodge cat, coffee plunger (coffee for 1 though)...

Miinukset: Upstairs 2 bedroom Smell through the room, flimsy towel rail in bathroom that fell off, dishwasher door that we couldn’t get to close. Room was very cold when my children and I arrived and took awhile to heat up. our previous motel (in another town) put the heater on before we arrived and it was so lovely to arrive to a warm room....it’s the little things that make all the difference. Mostly though, the odour in the room needs addressing. Bit of love and attention needed in this room is all.

Plussat: Nice, big & roomy. Beds were very comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything! This is the second time we have stayed & will definitely be back. Very clean, quiet & has everything needed to have a comfortable stay. Our first choice to stay in Timaru!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: huone oli tilava, ja siinä oli keittomahdollisuus ja parveke

Miinukset: huone haisi tupakalta

Plussat: Value for money. Absolutely!!!

Miinukset: The built up leaves and discarded cardboard by the entrance to the office/reception didn’t give the best first impression., but was really satisfied with our stay. Thank you.

Plussat: Wonderful host and the room we stayed in had character. We got a free upgrade to the best room.

Miinukset: It was freezing cold! It was winter and heat was by space heater which hadn't been turned on prior to arrival so the room, kitchen, dining area were all uncomfortably cold.

Plussat: the way it was set out the spa was perfect!! excellent staff..

Miinukset: bed was very hard the noise from the traffic kept me up most the night i couldnt get wifi over night.

Plussat: Everything was great so kind and thoughtful it was the perfect place to stay with our 2 year old sone very child friendly

Plussat: Lovely and warm unit, with comfy armchairs to sit in.

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff. Spa bath in room.

Plussat: comfy rooms

Plussat: Units were everything we wanted. Clean & tidy

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodating service. Gave a warm and positive welcome. Great place to stay.

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: We received a warm welcome from Janet who helped us with washing etc. The kitchen was well equipped and so was the bathroom. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable,

Miinukset: It’s a little dated and could use an upgrade. Our main complaint would be that it advertises free internet but actually you only get 5gig which isn’t much between two people. Everywhere we have stayed over the last two weeks has been free and unlimited.

Plussat: Very friendly owners. Location on edge of town but that's not an issue as Timaru is quite small. Units spacious and clean.

Miinukset: A design issue (nothing to do with the owners) - the outside stairs are placed in such a way that you can easily bang your head on the metal edge so be careful.

Plussat: Nice and friendly staff. Close to supermarket.

Miinukset: Bit noisy outside but could sleep well.

Plussat: The staf were friendly and stay was relaxing they let our little dog sty in her cage with us in the room thanks

Plussat: Great bed

Miinukset: Hot water tap on bath very hard to turn and wouldn’t turn off properly once turned on

Plussat: Fantastic place to stay. The cleanest motel I have ever stayed in !

Miinukset: Not a thing

Plussat: Very tidy, well maintained unit. Bed and sheets comfy. Enjoyed the electric blanket. Staff seemed helpful and eager to please.

Miinukset: Road noise. We were at back of motel. But hey, unit only single glazed and knew it would be slightly noisy as on SH1. So cant really complain.

Miinukset: On a busy road, so noisy with trucks and traffic after 6am. Which ok if you are up early, not so much if you want to sleep in

Plussat: Lovely staff, room very clean, everything you needed.Room was warm on arrival late at night which was appreciated.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The pathway leading to the unit could benefit from a waterless.It was not up to the standard of the interior of the unit

Plussat: Decent motel, ok to stay for 1 night. Friendly owners.

Miinukset: Directly located next to the highway no1, so it can be quite loud from the traffic.

Plussat: Good facilities the showers and toilet could do with an up grade

Plussat: Staff were lovely and friendly, very welcoming

Miinukset: Unfortunately it is close to a main road, and thus quite noisy. Some of the windows have been double glazed, but it probably needs them all to be done. However, the accommodation was quite sufficient for our requirements.

Miinukset: Road noise said they had double glazed windows but the road noise was bad. The unit is very dated

Plussat: Very conveniently located to the park, takeaways, the supermarket and our family. We felt safe letting our kids (aged 13,15,17) "do their own thing" in the neighborhood.

Miinukset: We're not use to traffic noise in our home and because our room was close to the main road the traffic woke us occasionally through the night.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It was perfect, As expected

Plussat: fab for the location for our stop there, lovely owners went above and beyond. Highly recommend this lovely clean rooms. Parking was great. Room was spacey and very comfortable. Clean everywhere. nothing to complain about at this place

Miinukset: Nothing!!

Plussat: Warm clean and in a convenient location

Miinukset: Happy enough

Plussat: The location was good & close to all that's needed

Miinukset: Very small ensuite/ shower

Plussat: good location, we could walk to Caroline Bay, and the supermarket

Plussat: Clean tidy and good location right next to the park, close to supermarkets, shops etc

Plussat: Friendly staff, comfortable the staff had also put the heater on before I arrived so the room was warm.

Plussat: The apartment was big, huge bathroom and the shower was great, plenty of parking and free wifi. The kitchen was big and had a bench top oven and a microwave.

Miinukset: It looked really nice at first, but after my shower I wiped the floor with my wet towel and it was filthy, which made me take a better look around, the duvet on the bed was dirty and so was the kitchen floor. The bed was also very uncomfortable

Plussat: It was affordable and location was fine. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The wifi was hopeless and because we had a lot of work to do online every evening. The wifi kept dropping off. The Sky tv wasn't the best either.

Plussat: Friendly clean warm great location!

Miinukset: Just painted so a faint paint smell still lingered.

Plussat: The unit looked freshly painted and was perfectly clean. Great location, super friendly staff. Warm and comfortable. Shower was amazing.

Miinukset: It was all perfect!!!

Plussat: Lovely spacious rooms. Everything was lovely and clean and the room was warm. The bed was cosy and warm.

Miinukset: The bed mattress was too hard but everything else was great.

Plussat: Easy access to motel, good size rooms, altogether very comfortable. Would stay there again.

Plussat: Quiet location, value for money for a short stay.

Plussat: Was far better than expected .. great service .. good value for money ..great communication.. thankyou

Plussat: Close to town.... easy walk

Miinukset: car parking not the best

Plussat: Liked the location of the Motel, very handy to where we had to be. Also very close to restaurants and food outlets. The motel room was comfortable. Bathroom was modern and a good size.

Miinukset: The room could have been cleaner. The cutlery was dirty and so was a coffee mug that I went to use, it had hot chocolate powder all down the side of the cup.

Plussat: Walk to town easily and Ashbury Park!

Miinukset: Close to railway line but didn’t matter.

Miinukset: The bed wasn’t very comfy

Plussat: great location

Miinukset: dated decor, although room was warm, the heater was very old and didn't feel safe to leave on. There was no extract fan in the bathroom which made it get very wet even with the window open.

Plussat: Comfy and warm and clean

Plussat: Näköala oli mahtava ja huone siisti.

Miinukset: Suihkun lämpötilan säätö toimi oudosti.

Plussat: Old architecture in the town, friendly welcoming aero club, nice friendly helpful people. Easy driving conditions.

Miinukset: Just stayed overnight, more time to explore would have been better

Plussat: Room was nice and clean, very handy location to town and easy to spot on the way in. Good amenities within the room and very comfortable. Heater was on when we arrived which was excellent since it was a touch cold outside!

Miinukset: Window didn't quite seal properly above the kitchen so a wee bit of noise, other than that cannot fault the place.

Plussat: Fantastic spot for trainlovers! We had a ground floor unit, accessible studio with sea-view. Yes, the sea-view was just like the photos on the website (although the railway line in between was a great surprise! Also a reasonable view of the port, for those with an interest in shipping.) The housekeeping staff were brilliant - very friendly and professional. They must use some pretty heavy duty cleaning products as the aroma was so overpowering we needed to open all the doors. (At least we knew it was clean!) Beautiful view of Caroline Bay, and lovely spot to sit and watch it (and of course those fabulous trains, right on the back doorstep!) The bathroom was lovely, plenty of hot water and fabulous water pressure. The 1G data limit and patchy wifi was absolutely brilliant as it meant my teenager was not glued to a device the whole time and in fact we were able to engage in conversation and even a game of Scrabble. Wonderful! The tight carparking spaces provided an entertaining challenge - next time we'll bring the L plates for the teen so she can practice her 33-point turns!

Plussat: Loved the family unit, lots of room

Plussat: Everything was great

Plussat: Great stay, really friendly staff. Great location

Plussat: Clean rooms. Comfortable combined lounge/kitchen space. Comfortable bed. Quiet, no traffic noise. Friendly service at reception.

Miinukset: VERY small combined toilet/shower area. Vanity unit in the bedroom due to no room for it in the bathroom. Quite an outdated feel about the unit.

Plussat: Was clean and warm.

Miinukset: The master bed was 2 singles literally pushed together with a large sheet thrown over top. One of the singles in the master was extremely uncomfortable, one side had sunk so feet were higher in the air.

Miinukset: Our studio bedroom was very small and bathroom was very small and too close to bathroom

Miinukset: The sofa in living room was uncomfortable with springs felt beneath leather

Plussat: Unit was exactly like pictures, clean, tidy the spa was awesome, they were able to accommodate a late check out for us on request. Exactly fitted our needs for the night will definitely use again and highly recommend

Plussat: It was great to be able to stay with my dog.

Plussat: Tina was super welcoming we will definitely be back

Plussat: A very comfy cosy stay, for the short time we were there

Plussat: Bed- was comfy, heater went well

Miinukset: Decor is very dated, paint peeling on doors and sills, switch for spa bath hidden on opposite wall. I only booked as we wanted a spa bath but I wasn't expecting a normal size bath for the price I paid - we were expecting corner spa bath. Not value for money at all. Rooms need a revamp

Miinukset: It was different to the pictures. Good that they allowed pets but the place inside was old and had cracks in the ceiling. Staff could have been a little nicer

Miinukset: Noise from traffic. Don’t get the units closest to the road.

Plussat: Parking tight glasses for drinks was so small

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Not Much

Miinukset: No table and chair in room, only 6 channels on TV, no micro wave.

Plussat: great hot water pressure in shower

Miinukset: The configuration of the dining room was not great - felt a bit disjointed and not very cosy. The staff were very friendly tho which made up for it.

Plussat: Good location in centre of town

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Reasonable location

Miinukset: A bit run down

Plussat: We had dinner and drinks. The roast exceeded our expectations. The room was warm and quiet, (no street noise at all). An on suite was included with the room. Breakfast was offered but we were to fill from the roast dinner. Parking lot was directly across the road, safe and well lit. Staff were attentive and responsive to requests. The meals were served in the bar in proper dinning facilities. We only had soft drinks but an excellent range was available.

Miinukset: Every thing was fine. Excellent value for the money.

Plussat: Comfortable, good price, good food

Miinukset: Room was just missing coffee cups.

Plussat: Loved the quirkiness & friendliness of the staff

Miinukset: Lack of a shelf in the shower

Plussat: Location. Facilities.

Miinukset: view

Plussat: Called me to advise I had left something

Miinukset: Sky TV wasn't working properly for Sky Sports :-(

Miinukset: The basin in the bathroom had a few stains in so it had looked like place hadnt been cleaned.

Plussat: Very clean

Miinukset: The dripping tap in bathroom and road noise but we do live rurally

Plussat: The location was very central.

Miinukset: The cold tiles on the bathroom floor.

Plussat: Cleanliness

Miinukset: None

Plussat: This was a last minute booking for an overnight stay. Booked an apartment for five & a studio for two. Studio was warm on arrival and well set up. Very comfortable. Apartment fit everyone comfortably. Electric blankets were great. Parking was easily accessed.

Miinukset: The pic's provided via booking.com were very deceiving. I was really disappointed and had I known what I was getting I would have paid extra for better accommodation. Apartment was very tired & old looking and is in need of a makeover. Complimentary milk was a nice touch, but could have supplied more as the room was booked for five people and only enough for three. Too tired to drive around looking for a garage or dairy. Beds were ok, pillows were flat as a pancake but doable. Shower pressure was shocking. Would be better off having a sponge bath.

Plussat: Good size family unit with plenty of beds. Bonus washing machine and full size fridge/freezer.

Miinukset: Property could do with a upgrade. However not a problem for us as you could see this in photos when booking.

Plussat: Lovely place. Would love to stay there again on my next trip to timaru

Plussat: The price was good. The beds were warm and comfortable

Miinukset: Bit noisy from the road. The plug hole in the bathroom was covered in hair.
