"Nice room, it was exactly like the pictures and description. Price performance value was good, they turned the heater on before arrival and there was a heated blanked. Friendly and very helpful staff and you can park infornt of your room. Only negative thing was the little hole in the window in the bathroom. I wish you and your family the best."
"Location is not very easy to find
Inundated in the middle of a private house
Older equipment
But more complete
🈶 Induction cooker can cook noodles and eggs
Each room leads to the backyard.
But the backyard is a grand one.
No privacy.
Objectively speaking, there is not much to play in this place.
Impression of passing by"
"I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 nights stay. Friendly staff, nice warm clean unit with a great outlook. Bed was comfortable which isn't always the case in a Motel . A garage for my car below my unit was very handy"
"As a place to rest for a short break on the road, it is relatively simple. It is very close to Caroline Beach. It is not very convenient to walk to the town center. It is not very far to see the blue penguin."
"Temporary decision to go to Timaru, so I read the review of this house, very good, fixed three rooms, two bedrooms, the kitchen can cook, but the landlord said that the booking shown on the booking is two people, let me again The cost of paying a child, I said, I understand the rules of accommodation in New Zealand, specially selected three people, as for the booking how to determine, I do not know, the landlord is not embarrassed, just say good."
"Good value for money! The room was bright, the bed was large, comfortable, and clean, and it had a big bathtub and shower facilities. The only minor drawback was that the kettle had plastic components inside."
"A good place to live for one night. The room is big enough for a family. You get basic cooking facilities in the small kitchen. Everything is clean and well maintained."
"An old New Zealand woman received us very unfriendly. It is estimated that there were Chinese guests who made her dissatisfied before. The old lady's English pronunciation was not accurate. She sent milk to molk. I didn't understand it at all. I took a table against us. They all said that New Zealand's service industry is very good. But I have experienced it myself, and the Chinese service industry is much worse than it is."
"The hotel passing by by car in New Zealand is very good, parking is very convenient, the service is also very good, clean and hygienic is particularly satisfactory, the price is more suitable, the surrounding supermarkets can buy vegetables by themselves, and it is a very good trip to come back to cook."
"Location within walking distance to many restaurants. Outside view great. The room kinda small, had fridge and an electric kettle. The shower had very strong water pressure — a bit intense. Door lock not working, pillow not clean. The parking lot is across the street; I arrived in the evening and it took me a couple of rounds to find it. As a short stopover, it was okay, but not best value."
