The Sea Breeze

The Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent
"From check in to departure our stay at The Sea Breeze Motel was enjoyable. Our room (Room 11 - Hydro Grand) had an amazing view of Caroline Bay. The room was large with a comfy bed, quality linens and comfortable pillows. The bathroom had everything you could want and the shower had great pressure. Thank you, we'll be staying again next time we're in Timaru."
