Best hotels & accommodations in Timaru

we arrived the motel, the staff is very nice, he showed us the short cut way to caroline bay within 15 minutes walk, he showed us how to find little penguin after 9pm, he offered torch to us, so a little extra fun. the motel is old fashion, but offer a kitchen, i don't see any other motels have. walk along the street, u can see pizza hut, domino pizza, a big shopping p...

Our 2 night stop-over was fantastic. The hosts even lended us their golf clubs for a round at the nearby golf course. We found Timaru and Bay Viaduct Motor Lodge an excellent place to rest during our globetrotting. Why ? The king-size room and the comfortable beds, super restaurants just round the corner, walking distance to the beach, the penguines coming ashore at su...

Close to restaurants, takeaways,a supermarket and a park. Unit was clean and comfortable good selection of tv channels. Great water pressure for shower. WiFi not so good kept disconnecting perhaps beacause too many many were on it (hence the 4 stars for facilities .)Adequate car parking the road noise didn't bother us We would stay again next time we are in town.

Booked for 2 nights. 1st night was in room 1 which is at the road end of the complex. Lots of lorry traffic on way to port during that particular night, which was not sleep condusive! So, next morning asked if we could be moved to a quieter room. Staff were very friendly and helpful and we moved into room 9. Were advised that the port trains ran along the back of the ...

The hostess went out of her way to explain the attractions in the area & even draw a map for where the penguins come in at night to feed their young at Caroline Bay (free access to public). Shower had fantastic water pressure & super comfy beds& the towels supplied have got to have been the most softest towels I have ever come across. The only suggestion that I can m...

We had a good 1 night stay at Elizabeth court. It has several amenities like a television room and a lounge. Showers were shared (in the hallway) but spacious and clean. We appreciated the included breakfast with our booking. Would stay again if in Timaru.

Loved our stay here. The house is so well designed. Immaculate and super clean. Location is very convenient. The parking space for our van was the only issue we had other than that it's was a wonderful stay. Micheal was a very friendly host. I would definitely be back. Loved those bickies in the jar 😉

Absolute silence being away from the main road. We had come from a very noisy motel and were lacking sleep so this was a godsend. The reception was very friendly and allowed me to upgrade to a room down the back (quieter) for a nominal fee. The kitchenette was great and the spa bath was very relaxing. Would stay again next time we're in town.

We had one nite in this motel. It is very clean well located in central Timaru. There is off street parking and there is no road noise if you stay in a back unit. The staff are very friendly and the unit is large and very clean. The unit is a bit dated but for a one nite stayed and a good price it was more than what we wanted. Will stay again and recommend to all.
