Hall on the Terrace

Convenient location close to shops Nice layout of the appartment

The fire alarm kept going off when you had a shower as there was no extraction fan to take the mist away

Quirky and comfortable, with history.

Nothing.

Staying in a heritage building is quite special. So much history too, which has been lovingly retained.

Wooden floors mean you hear people in the opposite unit, but it's not overly invasive.

Great location. Easy to walk to town. Unique building. Comfortable beds. Great room for kids. Bath for little ones. Great value for price. Another guest played the piano beautifully whilst we were there with the sound radiating throughout the building.

Thought the water pressure in the shower was a little weak but I think it was just me not knowing how to adjust it.

Set in a beautiful old building, the bathroom (although not in keeping with the era) was much nicer than in the photos. It had everything we needed just not to a luxury standard as advertised.

Microwave on bottom shelf, heatpump extremely noisy, couch uncomfortable, bed not the nicest, lots of cobwebs and dust under the side table, and the curtains that don't fit the window are just revolting and should be removed.

Beautiful old charm apartment and comfortable stay. Loved the under floor heating in bathroom & spa bath.

Everything at property is amazing second time staying excellent

Everything very clean great facilities

Incredible building, lovely to stay in a hertiage place. Beautifully restored, lovely apartment. Feel very spoilt with a four poster bed, gorgeous tiled bathroom, beautifully painted ceiling cornices. Fabulous experience, we loved it. Easy to park, close to top restaurant and supermarket. Very special place.

Everything was perfect, we would love to return to stay longer.

bathroom was special, spa bath

curtains that didnt block anything, noisy ac, old, hardly a luxury as advertised more just quirky

Unique property and quirky. Very appealing. Clean and tidy. Would be great for an event.

Unique stay. Erected in 1926 with fantastic architecture. Very modern facilities in the apartment. Bathroom has heated floors.

Bedroom was much cooler than the main area... but still comfortable.

Easy access and location. Good bath. Warm.

Air freshener v strong smelling, sofa v uncomfortable.

the location to my jobsite and the peace and quiet

This wonderful apartment steps back in time with its old world charm, antique style furniture and appealing decor. Clean, comfortable and cosy. If you're looking for something unique with lots of character then this is for you. Great location

Stunning building, comfy beds, home comforts, with added vibes!

What a find! We needed a place to break up the drive to Christchurch so wasn't too picky, just needed something handy and affordable. This place was so quirky! A stained glass window in the bedroom and a 4 poster bed! A giant communal hall too (although room had kitchen, living space etc so not required just a cool bonus) Will be back when we can enjoy it more!

Everything we needed for a quick overnight stop while traveling

Stunning and unique property with community feel

What a find! Great quirky, fabulous accom. Loads of space, super comfy bed, lovely period furniture. Easiest check in ever.

A very interesting environment, comfortable and private.

The property was as described. It was spacious and the bathroom was well stocked with toiletries. The bedroom was spacious and it was a very comfortable bed.

It is described as luxury boutique but in our view there were a couple of issues that didn’t meet this standard. Having the microwave at floor level was really inconvenient. The kitchen had basic crockery and cutlery but nothing else. There isn’t even a sharp knife to cut a loaf of bread. The shower pressure dropped to zero while one of us were using it. The freezer box in the fridge was so iced up that the door to the ice box had fallen off.

Easy to access, clean tidy and spacious

No complaints

Love the character and uniqueness of the accommodation. It was clean, comfortable and beautiful.

The gas hot water system was playing up a bit.

The uniqueness and quaintness of the church. Location was excellent and our apartment was very comfortable. The kitchen area was very well equipped and we had our own cosy sittingroom. Very friendly owner.

Nothing

Unique property, eclectic collections, architecture. Comfortable and quiet. Everything provided you may need. More than a place to spend the night.

It's Quirkiness, recommendation by the manager for dinner and would choose to stay there again!

The quirkiness forgives a few things!

No breakfast offered

The aircon unit has a noisy fan

The property was really quite quirky. Loved the old feel of it. Being an old church was a quaint experience. But with the modern bathroom and the underfloor heating - lovely.

The bed was a little uncomfortable. The shower wasn’t very strong.

The property was extremely clean and had all amenities you need for a short stay. The rooms were very large and comfortable. The historic character of the building and the beautiful garden also added to the charm of Hayley's accommodation. She was very good at communicating with us. Priced very reasonably for the quality of the place. Highly recommend it.

There wasn't anything to fault.

Character and convenient very clean large bathroom

No views from windows, dated

Renovations done to Hall on the Terrace are most impressive. Furniture is in keeping with the building. The tiling in the bathroom was amazing.

Pillows!

Love the esthetic and feel of the old style building and how it is tied into the rooms.

Ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise. Denke, es war mal eine Kirche. Mega renoviert, man fühlt sich dort sofort wohl. Modern und doch so einzigartig, mit den hohen Räumen, dem Himmelbett und dem Sprudelbad. Jederzeit wieder..

loved everything especially the preserved decor

Nothing

I liked the uniqueness of staying in a converted church hall

As many old buildings go it has that old musty smell. The bbq was listed as a facility available to cook with however the matches were wet and no clicker to start it or foil to use as you wouldn’t choose to put your meat on those grates.

Fabulous! Beautiful apartment in an old church. Will definitely book here again on my next NZ trip.

Beautifully quirky and loved the 4 poster bed and spa bath.

Centrally located but quiet. Lots of character features but with all modern conveniences. Very clean with everything we needed for a great stay.

Very nice just as it said

Nothing

Loved the charm and history

Shower pressure dropped away when other apartments were using their showers.....

Lovely place to stay with interesting features

A great unique stay

Hall on the Terrace (HOTT) is located in Temuka, a little town about 30 minutes north of Timaru. We stayed there visiting our daughter. The HOTT is a funky place, in an old church built in 1916. The room we had included a bedroom and sitting room with lots of space. The sitting room is a nice place to hang out. A kitchenette is provided with electric kettle, refrigerator and microwave. The Austin 92 restaurant is an incredible restaurant, a 5-minute walk away. Unless you get off the highway you will never see it. What a shame. The local hardware store (Hammer Hardware) is a great place, with a nice plant selection for a small town. Everything in Temuka is within walking distance.

As I said the HOTT is funky. The bathroom included an interesting tile selection that really didn't match the style. The bedroom included a 4-poster bed and a daybed. The room could use a tune-up with updated paint and curtains. It is very New Zealand with tea and coffee in jars.

The atmosphere

Lovely and clean property Great location close to cafes and restaurants Beautifully presented

Mostly the location

It was amazing and luxurious heritage building which was well renovated. Strongly recommend experiencing staying there at least once.

Can't name one.

房主非常热情，当我们说圣诞节准备自己做饭时，她马上给我们拿来了电饭煲，油和炒菜的锅子，我们也在 ßBQ那里完成了美味的中餐，很开心

房子有点陈旧

Such a beautiful building, the room was quaint but very nicely decorated and plenty of space. It has a beautiful four post bed and large jacuzzi tub.

Nothing at all

Location is a close walk to shopping, an excellent restaurant and an interesting historical tour of the town. Unique heritage property with our own conveniences. Visitation by a large black and white bunny as we left! Quiet location.

Location great, close to town. When we heard sirens and did not know what they were for, Hayley was a phone call away to tell us that it was for the Volunteer Fire Fighters.

There was nothing that I did not like

Stunning Preperty with lots of warmth and charm Highly recommend

Everything was excellent

It was different and very nice. The old style church was a nice touch

We only had two towels when there was four guests. (Only thing I can thing off)

Quirky, interesting, comfortable, and great value.

Water flow rate.

It’s in an old church building, so it’s quirky. Our private accommodation area had 2 bedrooms, tv lounge room, bathroom, and a hallway kitchen. Our host was very friendly and helpful. We found the two double beds were very comfortable.

We had no complaints.

We love the historical building and fittings, nice to stay somewhere a little different and so close to visit family .

Old converted church - it was such a cool place to stay. Had all the facilities at hand to eat in. Didn't notice any noise from the rest of the accommodation. Was easy to locate and not far from the main part of town.

I don't know. We weren't able to locate the accommodation hand book but let the owner/manager know (who was awesome at responding).

Lovely and quiet…

Lovely old building and the apartment was furnished in period style. Nice to have a spa bath on a stormy night. Although we didn’t meet the owner face to face, the communication after booking was excellent.
