The property was well situated and had lovely views over Caroline Bay. The unit needs to be refurbished including carpet replacement. The owner was friendly and helpful.

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.

not very soundproof units/(could hear neighbouring units flushing toilets.) be aware the property requests you use a credit card to pay and then charge additional fees for using a credit card. be aware prices quoted on Expedia are not in local NZD they are in USD but they don't disclose that until you go to pay

We loved out 2 day stay. We had a top floor room with a balcony and view of the bay. The room had a separate bedroom which was great. All very clean and lovely helpful lady on reception. Well will definitely stay again. And it is so handy to everything Timaru has to offer. Highly recommend.
