We were received by an old New Zealand lady who was very unfriendly. She must have been dissatisfied with the previous Chinese guests. The old lady’s English pronunciation was not accurate. She pronounced milk as mulk. We didn’t understand it at all. She slapped the table at us. , they all say that New Zealand’s service industry is very good, but I have personally experienced that it is much worse than China’s service industry.

Room was very comfortable and very clean! Noise from main road did not affect us at night as the room has double glazed windows. Owners went out of their way to accommodate us for 7 nights as this was a short notice booking. Very pleased with accommodation overall.

This was our last stop in a larger trip. It is a dark and dated room. Walking in reminded me of a student flat.
Pros
- Plenty of towels to be found under the sink in the bathroom
- nice big table with plenty of chairs to sit and eat like a family (there were 5 of us)
Cons
- Pillows felt like cheap $10 warehouse ones. No one had a good nights sleep
- Access to the toilet is through a bedroom so either the parents or kids are getting woken for midnight toilet runs.
- Bathroom lock was a sliding bolt on the inside that the outside can't get to. If some falls and hurts themselves or miss/master 4 lock it and can't unlock it....yes well.
- Downstairs bedroom had nowhere to hang anything. No wardrobe, hooks, nothing

Spacious, comfortable and very clean living/kitchen area and bedroom with I suite. Good location within 15 minutes walking to Caroline Bay. We enjoyed our short stay to see the famous Timaru fireworks.

This is an older property, but very well kept and stocked. It was clean, had good kitchenette that was well stocked with dishes, tableware and pots and pans. My only complaint is they have long term guests that were a little rowdy. The were setting off fireworks for a short period of time and I found that disturbing. Also they could use a new mattress as it was rather saggy. For a two room unit it was certainly worth the price.

Worst motel and very rude owner, won't bother to listen what you want and need only worried about the checkout time, asking for extra money upon leaving the hotel ***** truely running a scamm and asking for alot extra charges, i am afraid that they will charge my Credit card later on !!! Please avoid going here and there are few other lovely motels around.....SCAM****

I found the room very loud. You could hear the water going through the pipes in bedrooms next door everytime they used the taps or flushed the toilets. So this kept us awake 1/2 the night
