United Kingdom, August 2023

The location of this motel is fantastic, close to everything in Timaru. It's just a short walk to the beautiful bay, and it's conveniently situated right by the motorway for easy access. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with well-equipped kitchens for those wanting to self-cater. The hosts provide excellent service, going above and beyond to ensure a warm welcome and a pleasant stay. The added bonus of a complimentary pick-up and delivery service is a nice touch. a great option for those looking for affordable accommodation in a convenient location.

The bathroom facilities could use some improvement.

We recently stayed at a motel for our Thanksgiving holiday. The staff were very warm and friendly, and we received excellent local advice. Complimentary soap and shampoo were available in the bathroom, which was a nice touch. The motel was located in a convenient area, right in the heart of the town. the beds were very comfortable, and we slept very soundly throughout the night.

There were a couple of aspects which detracted from our stay. The walls were thin, and we could hear the noisy neighbors on both sides throughout the night.
