A Decent, well located, Motel.
This is a good motel and we would stay there again if passing through Timaru. The name harbour view is a bit misleading as the hotel doesn't have a harbour view, at least not from the ground floor rooms! However it is only a short walk from Caroline Bay.
The centre of Timaru is a little further to walk and it's uphill if that is an issue for you. However there is plenty of parking in town.
A particular mention to the lady on reception who was both friendly and helpful.
Note that if you are going south you have to drive past the motel and turn right, right, right around the next block thereby approaching the hotel from behind.

Home away from home
The hosts are so lovely, even had buckets of water waiting to help de-ice windscreens.
Will definitely stay again in future!

On arrival, we’re met with good customer service. The staff member was very friendly & happy to answer questions.
The room was what you needed for an overnight stay.
You could hear the road noise in the distance but not very loud. Nothing that ear plugs didn’t fix.
Easy walk into town & Caroline Bay.
Would highly recommend this hotel.
