A perfect stopover on the way to Christchurch. Clean and quiet, lots of room and easy to get in and out on the main road.

Unit good but two issues detracted from a more pleasant stay. On entering the unit a threatening notice demanded guests wash and dry all their dishes otherwise incur a $50 charge - not exactly welcoming. The cabinetry above the sink is too far forward and it’s easy to bang your head - especially as the tap is back against the wall. In all the motels we have stayed at I’ve only encountered this once before.

As a motel in a small town it does what’s required for a nights stay but any longer might be an issue The strange sign stating $50 fee will be added if your dishes are not cleaned and put away is off putting and the lazy boy chairs tipped over backwards 2 in our group so may need to warn people bit cold bit dated but is in Timaru so didn’t expect much
