The room had everything we needed and although we were a little disappointed not to be able to use the BBQ which was out of action, the owner !ent us alternative equipment and we managed fine. Only small problem was the rather steep driveway coming out onto a busy road but the convenience of being walking distance from restaurants and shops and the beach more than made up for it. ##### john Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### RP, Nelson Jan 25, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner was odd.

The motel is very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this motel to everyone ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Kieran, Sydney Dec 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I was happy with this motel Pleasant staff at this motel, where I always stay while in town. Motel is on a hill, so the lower-down units are the quietest- although on the main highway, I heard very little noise at night. Nicely fitted-out room with plenty of space for suitcases and a large kitchen with the usual facilities. Bathroom quite OK, usual facilities there. Electric blankets and good room heater. About 5 mins walk to the local indoor heated swimming pool, about 10-15 minutes walk to local Pak n Save supermarket, McDonalds, KFC, some restaurants, and about 10-15 mins to the town centre in the opposite direction. Staff give vouchers for about 2GB wifi, usable over 4 devices, that was plenty for me. I was happy with this motel, and will go back; it gave value for the price paid. ##### Kieran Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nats, Wellington, nz Dec 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I always stay at this motel when in Timaru.

We stopped overnight at this hotel. Considering that the price compared to others in the same street, we were expecting quite a bit more than we ended up with. The checkin was unfriendly, the heating had not been turned on in the room and was old and inadequate. The decore is very dated which is not such a big issue except that the couches looked too dirty to even sit on. In the morning there was no hot water - when I mentioned it on checkout in a polite way as feedback, The response was defensiveness and disbelief - no apologies or concern. It you can’t sleep with loud road noise then you won’t sleep at all as there is no sound proofing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 2, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clock ticking, heater very loud, kids couldn’t be on the same level as us which was not in the description upstairs & downstairs. Very dated & would expect something more modern for that price. One night was ok but wouldn’t rebook. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### KEUTGEN May 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bon pour le prix Vieillot mais pour le prix il ne faut pas en demander plus ##### KEUTGEN ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178294-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Toronto - North York by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Toronto-North-York.h34380.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Lake Buena Vista – Disney Springs® Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Wyndham-Lake-Buena-Vista-Disney-Springs-Resort-Area.h19384.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru By Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Denver-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Denver-Downtown-Convention-Center.h39639972.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178314-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cambridge Suites Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Toronto.h18781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [Wayfinder Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Wayfinder-Waikiki.h6640.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Playacar](https://www.expedia.ca/Playacar-Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6209538-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Atrium](https://www.expedia.ca/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-Atrium.h15536302.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Toronto.h8301308.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lincoln Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Bay-Hotels-The-Lincoln-Inn.h9673586.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Sian-Kaan-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h4093165.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Royalton-Splash-Riviera-Cancun.h78626183.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d179995-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/mco/winnipeg-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/yul/miami-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Venice (VCE) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vce/yvr/venice-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cinisi (PMO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pmo/toronto-to-palermo) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/phx/halifax-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kingston (KIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kin/toronto-to-kingston) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/yhz/st-johns-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Makini (BAJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/baj/victoria-to-bali) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to San Antonio (SAT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/sat/montreal-to-san-antonio) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Geneva](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Geneva.d180003.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In LaSalle](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-LaSalle.d178518-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [New York Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York.d178293.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
