Well situated for the purpose of our stay, sporting tournament at Aorangi Stadium.
Room was very tidy and clean, unfortunately our room, number 3, had a bad leak from the shower which saturated the carpet to the entryway. Sadly the owners were away and motel was full so the available staff apparently couldn't do anything. Hopefully this gets fixed asap.
Although near a busy road the traffic was not an issue day or night.
Polite and friendly staff. Overall rating would have been higher if not for the shower maintenance issue.

Could be brilliant, but isn't

This motel could be fabulous, but sadly it isn't. On the positive side, the rooms are well furnished, extremely clean and the beds are comfortable. The bar downstairs is convenient and the food pretty decent, if you like a basic menu. On a negative note, the room was exceptionally noisy, with load music from others guests, the bar below and intolerable traffic noise from SH1, which is 10m away. Additionally, the motel appears to be a haunt of contractors and tradesmen, who have food delivered to their rooms. This made our room and the whole corridor smell like a takeaway foyer, for hours.

Rooms recently refurbished but these are just bedrooms with a sliver of a desk, a mini box for a fridge and a toaster and jug squeezed in for good measure.
But worst of all - no air conditioning! The fans could not get bedrooms less than 25 overnight and one couple struggled to rest in a bedroom that remained at 27 until the very early hours of the morning (they were unable to leave window open due to road noise)

Comfortable and fairly close to Timaru airport

Arrived and was slightly confused as the hotel reception was in another building - after working this out I checked in ok. Ok room - it was a standard and in the older part. Comfortable bed and I wasn’t there for long so happy with the choice and location.
