The room had everything we needed and although we were a little disappointed not to be able to use the BBQ which was out of action, the owner !ent us alternative equipment and we managed fine. Only small problem was the rather steep driveway coming out onto a busy road but the convenience of being walking distance from restaurants and shops and the beach more than made up for it. ##### john Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### RP, Nelson 25 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner was odd. The rooms were so outdated and set up so poorly.

Checkin was with a lady, that I think was inconvenienced by our arrival. The bathroom was poor, water pressure in the shower terrible and facilities need repair. Advertised free wifi which only worked when outside the room, again an issue for the manager.

We come to Timaru 2-3 times per year and always stay at Townhouse Motel. We love the friendliness of the proprietors, the location is perfect and we have all that we need. The motel is very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this motel to everyone ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Kieran, Sydney 19 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I was happy with this motel Pleasant staff at this motel, where I always stay while in town. Motel is on a hill, so the lower-down units are the quietest- although on the main highway, I heard very little noise at night. Nicely fitted-out room with plenty of space for suitcases and a large kitchen with the usual facilities. Bathroom quite OK, usual facilities there. Electric blankets and good room heater. About 5 mins walk to the local indoor heated swimming pool, about 10-15 minutes walk to local Pak n Save supermarket, McDonalds, KFC, some restaurants, and about 10-15 mins to the town centre in the opposite direction. Staff give vouchers for about 2GB wifi, usable over 4 devices, that was plenty for me. I was happy with this motel, and will go back; it gave value for the price paid. ##### Kieran Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nats, Wellington, nz 10 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I always stay at this motel when in Timaru. Staff are friendly. The rooms are comfortable, The motel is close to town and family and the staff are very friendly. Recommend ##### Nats Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carole, Christchurch 22 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Walking distance to shops restaurants nice spacious unit. Shower had broken floor bed very old and needs to be replaced. Comparative to sleeping on boards ##### Carole Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvonne 14 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Yvonne Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avoid! We stopped overnight at this hotel. Considering that the price compared to others in the same street, we were expecting quite a bit more than we ended up with. The checkin was unfriendly, the heating had not been turned on in the room and was old and inadequate. The decore is very dated which is not such a big issue except that the couches looked too dirty to even sit on. In the morning there was no hot water - when I mentioned it on checkout in a polite way as feedback, The response was defensiveness and disbelief - no apologies or concern. It you can’t sleep with loud road noise then you won’t sleep at all as there is no sound proofing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Jul 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clock ticking, heater very loud, kids couldn’t be on the same level as us which was not in the description upstairs & downstairs. Very dated & would expect something more modern for that price. One night was ok but wouldn’t rebook. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### KEUTGEN 12 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bon pour le prix Vieillot mais pour le prix il ne faut pas en demander plus ##### KEUTGEN ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Essaouira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Essaouira-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602392-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d178294-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Villa del Re - Adults Only - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiadas-Hotels-La-Villa-Del-Re-Adults-Only.h8115105.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Disneyland-Paris-Hotels.0-l6035062-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sudima Christchurch Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Sudima-Christchurch-Airport.h889383.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Ibis-Christchurch.h1641197.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Principe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Principe.h11393.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina View Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Marina-View-Hotel-Apartments.h4333545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Entertainment in Oban](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d9144-thotelwithentertainment.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The George Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-George-Christchurch.h16116.Hotel-Information) > > [Southwark Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Southwark-Hotel-Apartments.h5666932.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ollastu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Hotel-Ollastu.h1265664.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Chateau-On-The-Park-Christchurch.h19345.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasmin Beach Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Hotels-Jasmin-Beach-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h9740453.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Novotel-Christchurch-Cathedral-Square.h2759152.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Manhattan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manhattan-New-York-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n129440-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Rock City Nottingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rock-City-Nottingham-Hotels.0-l553248621563222789-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Christchurch.h18147427.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wimbledon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimbledon-London-Hotels.0-n179539-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Exeter (EXT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/ext/newcastle-to-exeter) > > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to Budapest (BUD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/bud/london-to-budapest) ### Cars > [Car hire in Purley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Purley.d6177068.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in New Malden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-New-Malden.d553248623255256676.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Grenada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Grenada.d68.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lisbon-District.d178278.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [La Manga del Mar Menor Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Manga-Del-Mar-Menor.d6050506.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Mijas Costa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mijas-Costa.d6279083.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Postiguet Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Postiguet-Beach-Ensanche-Diputacion.d6067235.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Lignano Sabbiadoro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lignano-Sabbiadoro.dx6046836)
