Dated but clean and comfortable
Roomy, well equipped, older style motel. Excellent value for money. friendly helpful staff. Great location
Traffic noise but being beside a busy road that's unavoidable.
Very clean, staff were great, friendly and helpful.
Wifi was on the slow side.
Close to shops.
Shower was ineffective.
Location
Room cleanliness and comfort were superb. There was plenty of room to work remotely as well.
The staff did not top up my milk each day, nor did they empty the bins every day, so I went without coffee on my last morning.
The lady manager was really nice and helpful
Outdated but still good value for money
Clean and comfortable
Nothing
La dame de l'accueil est très amicale. La chambre était propre, bien équipée (frigo de bonne taille, micro-ondes, couverts et ustensiles de cuisine), le lit très confortable avec matelas chauffant pour les jours plus frais.
L'hôtel est en bord de route mais avec des bouchons j'ai passé une excellente nuit

Los anfitriones.muy majos , limpio y zona tranquila para descansar , parking gratuito. La cocina bien equipada.
Bed was comfy
Dated. Probably doesn’t meet healthy home standard
De eigenaresse is super lief en behulpzaam, alle lof voor haar. Wij hadden de familiekamer en die had in principe alles wat je nodig heb. Het was erg schoon.
Het is gewoon allemaal oud. Het is gemeubuleerd uit de jaren '90. Het tapijt rook niet fris, zelf beetje naar hondenplas. De badkamer is schoon maar allemaal niet meer van deze tijd. De raamkozijnen zijn allemaal aan een schilderbeurt toe. Als deze plaats gemoderniseerd word zou ik het zeker aanbevelen!
コンロ、レンジなど一通りそろったキッチンなので、調理が不自由なくできました。 町の中心部からあまり離れていないので、出かけるのに便利でした。
電灯がスイッチ一つでリビングとトイレの電気すべてがON/OFFするので夜トイレに行くのに不便でした。 シャワーの温度調整がないのが不便でした。 部屋にハンガーや、ハンガーをかける場所がなく、不便でした。
location was good. large unit
the building has obviously been changed around and renovated- but not well, so room configuration was weird. bathroom was small and water pressure not great.
レセプションの女性の方が、とても優しく気持ちの良い対応だった。お部屋も必要最低限の設備だが、綺麗に整えられ、何も困らなかった!
Was kind, friendly, and very accommodating.
That we had to go home
Good value for money and had everything I needed
Nothing
Value for money, clean and comfortable.
On main Rd so lots of traffic noise. The smoking area was outside the windows so the smell came through the cabin and people lingering outside, coming and going throughout the night making it noisy.
La résidence est un peu datée mais tout est très propre et très confortable. L'accueil est particulièrement appréciable.
It was well priced and in a good location and had parking. The lady running the place was lovely and helpful
The room we had was underneath at the back. It was a bit dark and gloomy. The room was a bit musty and smelt a bit mouldy. I'm sure the other rooms are a lot lighter and nicer.
Very friendly welcoming staff. Nice big spacious room with separate bedroom and bathroom. Parking directly outside of the room. Private outside seating area. Location was fine with just a short walk to the seafront with bars and restaurants not much further.
Can't think of anything.
Loved the staff and the practicality
Sadly the hot water didn’t work in my room & found the bedding made me so uncomfortable
No breakfast
Very animal friendly
Just needed a bigger mirror - us girls like to see ourselves.......
Location great
Lighting a bit dull for reading
Limpio y completo
It’s location and pet friendly. Was quite in the little back unit which was good because we were on busy main road . Very friendly owners.
It’s an old block of motels so the bathroom toilet area was added on back very tight area for my biggish husband.
We were there 5 days our room was serviced once Bin emptied once Had keep asking for change of towels Lighting bad No sky TV like advertised Front window had big Crack in Vent in toilet bathroom never worked it kept streaming the wall and mirror Small step to shower turn then a small step to toilet was a trip hazard The wall in room had broken gib like someone smashed it The fan was so small the size of a cd On stwitch turned on all the lights including shower and toilet to go to toilet early morning you turn on all the lights to use toilet The front door had been blackened out when turn of lights and there is light coming in thru the edges Do people come and inspect these room before they are allowed to rent out I have stayed in alot of motel hotels because of my job and unit 10 is up there a the worst I stayed in
Close to town the pool and the beach, staff were very helpful
The welcome was very warm, and the facilities were as expected. The beds were reasonably comfortable and the place was very clean and well-presented. Yes, the decor is a little dated, but we didn't come here for a fashion display. The location was excellent, and given the proximity to SH1 and heavy traffic, the room was reasonably quiet - the double glazing, while not pretty, is very effective. If you are fond of cats, then you will also love Honey, the resident affectionate feline, who is extremely well cared for, and tells lies about how recently she has been fed. We'd definitely come back here!
The quality of the WiFi was poor. Internet speeds were way too slow and the TV feed quality made it unwatchable. Otherwise, we have no complaints about this accommodation.
Rachel & her staff were so welcoming...even went out & got us some seafood 😋
It offered many useful things. Very cheap.
If the bathroom would be bigger. I couldn’t find a place for all the hygiene stuff.
Excellent location
Small gastop
Good location and had everything we needed to be self-sufficient.
チェックインの時のスタッフさんは満面の笑顔で応対してくれたので好印象でした。 部屋は、きれいに清掃されていました。 場所は分かりやすく迷うことはありませんでした。
シャワーの水圧が少し弱かったです。
It really suited our family
Nothing
Un personnel sympathique.
Établissement très vieillot. Pas de garde-robe pour ranger son linge ; même pas un simple porte-manteaux. La douche ne fonctionnait pas correctement...
the bed was very comfortable. very compact set up for the space we slept in. it could accomodate 2 adults and 3 kids! it was very conveniently located , short drive to Caroline bay to the carnival penguin nesting area.
unfortunately toilet was a little messy with toilet paper shreds when we first entered. sink needed a quick wipe . all easy fix but could be better if it was cleaned prior to arrival.the interior was old and quite damp smelling. it was a nice summer day so we opened the windows and it was fine . Parking was confusing and frustrating, we were told to part in allocated space but when we returned at night the park was occupied and office was closed so we had to randomly park at the only lot available and knock on the door to inform the occupants in that room that we had to use the parking space (they also acknowledged that they parked in someone else's spot)
Didn't do breakfast
Self contained with well equipped kitchen
Did not have breakfast Location was great
Location was great. Staff friendly.
Run down inside. Lightbulb missing in main bedroom and curtain faulty. Shower was difficult for my 74 year old mother to get out off as had a big step in and out. No fan in bathroom. Tap in bathroom sink was very noisy maybe the plumbing. Could not access tvnz on demand or Netflix so nothing to watch on tv. No welcome booklet on table to describe the property or about the unit. Only had a carnival brochure on the table.
We loved our stay Thank you
My unit was inexpensive compact and cosy. My bed was comfortable and a heater kept the unit toasty warm. The unit was equipped with crockery and cutlery, a kettle, toaster and microwave oven. I also had Honey, the motel's gorgeous kitty spend some time with me
Nothing in particular. I had a late morning flight from Timaru and I never like to tempt fate by driving 80km on the morning I'm booked to fly out. The Anchor motel was in a good location and was inexpensive.
Just a short walk from the centre of Timaru. The room was a standalone unit that was more than comfortable for a solo traveller. Friendly staff too!
Very good location and quiet
一人部屋があった事。
洗面の所に置く場所がない。
vicinity to client
Noisey Neighbours, very run down i guess you get what you pay for
Wonderful friendly staff
Road noise but to be expected on a main thorough fare
Staff were very helpful and moved us to a different unit when I explained I couldn’t manage stairs very well.
Tiny single unit, well set up, had everything I needed,clean and tidy. Good option for the budget traveller
Couldn't fit the kettle under the tap!! But otherwise it was fine.
Location husband stayed here when it was a yha 27 years ago
