Good and adequate amenities. Very comfortable except for drainage in the shower. Feel as though you’re wading in water because of slow drainage. ##### Roy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hamish Aug 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It was comfortable ##### Hamish Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Sep 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Good location for walking to Caroline Bay. Bakery across road, and short drive to shops. Unit was spacious with new carpet and had separate lounge/dining to bedrooms ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Leanne Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Immaculately clean, but very dated - looks like something from the 1970s! I also found there was a lot of noise coming from the laundry room next door to my room (room 5) VERY early in the morning. The people were very welcoming, and parking was easy onsite - right in front of my room. Everything worked well, with acceptable hot water and plenty of room. This would be ideal for a group with kids to stay, assuming they don't mind how aged the rooms are. I would stay again. ##### Leanne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication This is an older property, but very well kept and stocked. It was clean, had good kitchenette that was well stocked with dishes, tableware and pots and pans. My only complaint is they have long term guests that were a little rowdy. The were setting off fireworks for a short period of time and I found that disturbing. Also they could use a new mattress as it was rather saggy. For a two room unit it was certainly worth the price. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bridget Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It was close to town and cosy & warm when we arrived. ##### Bridget Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Budget option for Timaru, friendly host and spacious two-bedroom unit. Odd placement of the only bathroom - an en suite of the main bedroom. Adequate kitchen with plenty of dishes. Showing its age and budget style but fine for an overnight stay. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Philippa Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Great value for money ##### Philippa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Yvonne Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Handy to Town Centre.
