Geraldine Motels

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Copper John, close to the Ski Fields here in the McKenzie. Quiet and private.

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, great quiet spot to unwind and relax. Stunning outlooks and rural overview - wonderful!Over all was a well presented well equiped space. It was a little let down with finding old rubbish in bins and old food in the fridge (previous people). Also no dishwashing liquid (only an empty container) and no tea towels.I can see why so many people live this space. Would certainly come back again."

The Vicarage Geraldine

10/10 Excellent

"The Vicarage at Geraldine was absolutely amazing and the perfect place to stay. We stayed for two nights and couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable or welcoming experience. Our ground-floor room was directly opposite the beautiful communal space, which was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It really felt like an extension of our room and was such a lovely space to relax in. The room itself was beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed. We particularly loved all the thoughtful little touches that made the stay feel extra special. We had breakfast at Barker’s, which was absolutely delicious and a real highlight. The staff were wonderful too. We met two different members of the team during our stay, one each day, and both were incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The Vicarage has such a lovely atmosphere and attention to detail, and we would happily stay here again. A real gem in Geraldine!"

Phoenix Motel

8/10 Good

"I made a mistake with the booking date, and the host was great at helping me change it. Good location if visiting family in Temuka. Rooms are a bit cold (not unusual for NZ buildings - poor insulation is the norm for older buildings in NZ). The motel provides heaters in each room, which helped. Across the street from Night & Day dairy, good for snacks and supplies. A good option in the small town of Temuka if you dont want to trek from Timaru or Geraldine."

Holiday House with Style - Geraldine Retreat

8/10 Good

"It was a great place. Walk into town accurate once you found the pathway ( clearer instructions here would've been helpful). Place was lovely and clean. Communicating with host easy and quick. I didn't give it 5 stars for 2 main reasons. Car parking inaccurate. It is only a 1 car driveway NOT 2 (We needed 2). I was told all basic everyday items were there. Huge list of prohibited shower body soap yet didn't supply any NO SHOWER SOAP. If you're soo particular about this, supply it please. Also, NOT ENOUGH HANDSOAP so we had to buy. This may be petty but disappointing, as we did ask if all supplied, we booked for 6 people .... please don't be so cheap."
