Top West End Hotel Reviews

Bay Viaduct Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The hostess was extremely informative, friendly and accommodating. The complex is centrally located, just off SH1 and there is very little noise during the night. It is easy to get around Timaru."

The Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Timaru. It has been recently refurbished and is beautifully presented, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, just minutes from the main street, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The real highlight, though, was the amazing sea views. They were absolutely incredible and made the stay feel extra special. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Timaru!"

Aaron Court Motel

8/10 Good

"Beds comfortable, beautiful crisp white sheets, linen clean. Nice shower pressure and hot, the room was tired looking, but very clean. Could have done with a small dining table to eat at but this wasn't the end of the world as there was a wee coffee table. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the walls could have done with a wipe down, to remove some marks, as it made the place look tired."
