Great view of bay from room 15 . Perfect 2 bedroom and living space for 3 people. No road noise. Train noise not significant for us. Warm and cosy on a cold day.

Nice clean place but noisy.
Very noisy location. Highway one side. Train track on the other. But I reckon most if not all motels in Timaru suffer highway noise.

Great stay. Overlooking the bay and sea. Railway noise insignificant despite overlooking the line . No road noise despite being on SH1.
Accidentally left items behind- very helpful hosts solved the problem.
Great location walking to beach by and town. Highly recommend.

Lovely spot but the noise from running taps of other rooms constantly woke us up. Right on the train but that did not bother us as only a few a day.

orking port view !
A bit of a walk to town center, the gardens and beach are a sort walk and fun to stroll on your way to town center. The train runs just below your window, didn’t interrupt sleeping.
