Loved the room, and the staff were amazing. I would have put quiet, but unfortunately with the road works right outside, I couldn't do that. However, that is out of the Motel's hands. Suffice to say, we would definitely stay here again if we came back to Timaru.

Clean, spacious room. Right on the highway but good sound insulation. Across the road from the park, but calling it “harbour view” would be a bit of a stretch. The reception was a bit off-putting - intense smell of a dog kennel - I did so one very large dog in there when we dropped off the key.

Such a comfortable bed. Shower a little small and low shower rose. What I did notice as soon as walking in to Reception is a quite over powering smell....like smelly socks!!! Receptionist was lovely, but it really smelt very unfresh. But was overall very happy with our accomodation for the night. Thank you.
