One night in Timaru
Have not stayed here for awhile, comfortable, warm and heaps of room
Jess
Was great, bed was quite hard, but everything else was fantastic
John
Awesome room.
Chloe
The lovely woman at front desk was amazing to me and my friends, she was so kind and made us feel so comfortable!! 10/10 would go back
Amy
We had not planned to travel to Timaru, but needed the hospital services. This place was a last-minute booking that was perfect for us. Our family had been traveling in close quarters and this was great to have a little space to move around. Having a functional full kitchen, dining room, living room, and all the clear spaces for recycling and compost was very welcome. The person who checked us in was friendly and offered room options and a couple ideas of what to do in town. They were flexible about our check out timing which was also super helpful to us. We were only there one night, but managed to squeeze in a little blue penguin sighting after sunset.
Alistair
Great place to stay
Christine
We were only staying the night. Got in on dark and left early the next morning. It was well situated for our circumstances and very appropriate for what we wanted.
Thanks.
Thanks.

handy to town/hospital/family
Sandra
Clean, spacious, quiet motel.
We booked Fitzgerald on King because it was close to where my daughter lived and the very good reviews. It definitely lived up to the reviews, it was very clean, recently decorated, sunny, roomy, quiet and reasonably priced. It was really good having 2 separate bedrooms as we travelled with our adult son. We would have liked to have had clean towels each day - maybe we didn't read the instructions correctly and should have advised the office - but it didn't matter we managed! Would definitely book again.

Overnighter to clear up some work, nice and quite, love staying here, back in 2021
Anil
Nice place and really enjoyed our stay. Self-check in was fast and easy with no need to meet staff or collect keys. The two bed room apartment was very spacious and clean. The only negative was the bed sheets of the queen bed were bit dirty.

Perfect location and well equipped for self catering. Looks recently refurbed, so extremely well presented with comfortable beds.
Hosts were kind and helpful.
Only negative was, stated daily service, we had a partial service on our second morning.

Two thumbs up!
We only stayed one night but it was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We arrived after office hours but reception everything was ready for us. Portacot was already set up upon arrival which was good. My only gripe was it would have been nice to have individual heaters in the bedrooms instead of relying on just the main one in the lounge (although it eventually did heat up the whole apartment, it just took a little while). Good value for money. Will stay again.

Clean, Good Units
My Son and I found the room very comfortable, and was great access to the hospital, a 5 minute walk. We also found it an easy walk to the local shopping and walk into town. Being a 2 bedroom unit,with full kitchen was very handy for our stay. Would recommend these units for accommodation.
