Thanks for a good stay
Good stay for an overnight trip in Timaru. Bed was beautifully firm and towels were nice and fluffy. Good that we had a kitchen space to meal prep for further travel days. Location was perfect for Caroline bay , a little road noise but it didn’t worry us.

This place is very close to the beach and parking is not bad. Yet you need to pay attention to your arrival time. No late than 8pm or you have to figure your way to contact them — no off-hour checkin guidance. Staffs are very rude. If you decide not to renew your stay, check out at 10 am or before — they won’t give you any warning before threatening to charge late fee.

Right on the bay. Beautiful room on 4th floor. Needed to carry bags up flight of stairs. Very nice inside. Could not figure out how to work TV. No instructions. The carnival was going on at the time so was very festive, but quiet a night. Enjoyed our stay here.
