The Ashley must be one of Timaru's best kept secret's. The check in was done in a flash. Due to mobility issues i was given the choice of two apartments. (We chose the 2 brm)
The rooms had everything you could possibly need, all the kitchen utensils and the oven were spick and span. We really enjoyed the heat pump its pretty cold in Timaru in June.
Overall I would have to say this is the most comfortable, well appointed and CLEANEST motel room Ive had over the years.
Definitely my first choice in accommodation.
Thanks team!

Good for stopover from Queenstown to Christchurch

Reception was warm and friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable for 3. It had a stove and microwave for preparing a simple meal. Beds were a little soft, though. Bath was nice and hot and water pressure good but do be careful not to stand under the shower when turning off the water was the water comes out cold quickly.

Just what we wanted

The Azure Ashley was exactly what we were looking for. It was our anniversary weekend away without the children. We wanted a nice comfortable studio unit with a spa, and a decent sized tv, and that's exactly what we got. The cooked breakfast was great, and at the requested time. We heard the occasional noise from trucks on the main road but it wasn't disturbing at all. I would gladly stay there again.

a good location for stop-over

The Motel is on the major road to Christchurch so it's a good location for a stop-over, however it's 3km out of Timaru Town centre. We booked the room because of the spa in the room as it's the last day of our road trip, we wanted to relax in the spa, however we tried in both of our rooms following common sense - turned the switch and the button on but neither spa worked. As we were already in the bath tub we didn't ask for help so just had a bath instead. I discussed this with the owner when checking-out and he said we need to press a \"reset\" button which is near the wash basin, this instruction should have been provided when checking -in but wasn't. I guess may be the owner didn't want guest to use the spa.

Impressed.

We stopped for one night on our way from Dunedin to Christchurch.Very welcoming host Carl, recommended a restaurant with free wine or beer with the meal.. Received a free upgrade, as there was a better room free.
They have 500MB free wi-fi, which is almost unheard of in NZ, you wouldn't need more for one night.Although on the main highway coming into town, we were not bothered by noise during the night. Plenty of parking on the premises. Mini kitchen in the room with fridge and microwave.Lots of TV channels. More expensive than some in Timaru perhaps, but we felt it was worth it.Will definitely return.

Nice Hotel on the main highway, a bit away from th

Arrived early afternoon, made very welcome by the staff, and ordered breakfast for the next day. The lady gave us a recommendation and directions for a restaurant called Bennys'.
We went down to the town and had a good walk around the town and the shore area.
There is a lovely park down next to the shore area which is well worth a visit. The town was pretty well shut down for the local holiday, but has a nice variety of shops.
We had an excellent meal in Bennys'
We were housed in one of the disabled units, which was really well laid out and with parking outside on the same level.

a pleasant surpise!

We stayed here one night in February on our 'grand tour' of NZ. We were warmly greeted at the front desk and made to feel at home (offering laundry tips, restaurant coupon, etc.). We were aiming for more of a B&B feel in our other overnighters but the high season pushed us here and we were not disappointed. Room was suite-like with basic kitchen facilities and clean open feel much like other hotels you've likely stayed in. I was worried about the 'motel' monicker but it was more of a 'hotel' to us, if you know what I mean. The location unfortunately meant that it was a short drive into town but that's the only negative. good value for $

Very friendly hotel staff!

We stayed here two nights while visiting Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, and Aoraki/Mount Cook. The owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Great room. Two comfortable beds, desk, kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, and stove. Clean, warm, and comfortable. Good location for visiting Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook if you cannot find anything closer. The owner told us about lots of things going on in Timaru, but we were not around long enough to check them out. He also recommended restaurants and told us where to find groceries. Very happy with our stay.
