Terrible sleep! Also, the walls were thin so I could also hear the snorer next door. The shower was terrible... I could go on. However, I find in these situations that the manager is not the owner, and so has no ability to upgrade the property. The owner takes their lease payments and the manager apologises on their behalf. The manager of this property was very efficient and friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Gillian May 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family stay The room was good and a central location. ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Apr 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Clean & tidy.

The showers water supply and control could be improved. I was happy with my stay and have used this motel many times. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Keith Jul 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good for a short stay in Timaru Homestead Lodge Motel met our expectations for a comfortable stay in Timaru.

They will give you instructions about your room no. and where to get the key. Overall it was a good stay and roomy enough for 3 people. I just wish though they'd put blackout curtains instead of vertical blinds since the glass facade is too big ##### AL Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew Dec 28, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Passing through only, not a destination Very basic, very dates ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff.
