Parking was easy and on-site laundry was handy

Aaron Court Motel
The driveways are very steep & covered in gravel. Parking is at the back in the bottom of the hill. It's a bit tricky to maneuver when uploading your car on such a steep incline & pulling out into Highway 1 - which is at the top of the hill.

The Grosvenor
I had a great stay. Welcoming, helpful staff, and a lovely room. I always enjoy staying at the Grosvenor, and I’m looking forward to my next stay. Will definitely aim to stay in an Executive room again.

The Fort. Timaru
Very good room, street front but not noisy, good bed and pillows, didn’t realise that check in is by prearranged code and was very relieved when my call was promptly answered and we were admitted easily. Was a little nervous bout the Shared bathroom, but worked out ok. Great kitchen and laundry ...
