The owner was very welcoming and friendly, and the balcony of the room had a superb view of the sea. Timaru is a very quiet and cosy town, I regret only staying here for one day, I would stay here if I had the chance, very recommended!

From the outside it might look a little rough but the room was actually really nice and super good size with everything you need. Host was super lovely and helpful as we got to the motel late so she'd turned the heat pump on for us. Nice and quiet and I like their sustainability focus. And great location and price.

Basic motel that provides everything for our short transit. Parking is convenient as right outside the unit, has laundry & bbq facility. Love the toilet spacious size & water pressure is solid. Location is convenient as near to everywhere else that we need to go.

After I got to grips with booking online as opposed to talking to a human which as an older person I prefer to do I was very impressed once I got to my room. It was warm, the heater was already on so I was very thankful as it was a sunny but chilly winters day. The room was much like a self contained motel unit but within a block of apartments. I had all that I needed for the night and I was toasty as. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this place.

What we like is that it only a single story motel so you can just park outside your room. The room is big, clean and spacious. They also provide heated blanket which is so nice as the weather is so cold. The room came with kitchen so we cook during our stay there.

I only stayed one night, perfectly suited for what I needed. Cooking faculties good, bed nice and comfy. Free parking in motel car park. Good location, could walk to Caroline Bay penguin viewing spot, and also could walk to town centre and restaurants. Good sound proofing, it’s in the main road but could barely hear traffic. Staff very nice too.
