Guest Reviews
- Robert (5/5): The motel was not up to our expectations and would not stay there again. - Facilities described were all there except the wifi did not connect to the internet so was of no use. Located on a hill on the main road with a set of lights at the bottom. Noise of braking trucks continued constantly throughout the night. The motel was probably built in the 70's and is need of a complete renovation.
- Sally (7/5): Odd set up - Close to park and easy to get to the shops and beach
Bed was clean and comfortable
Quiet, some road noise The bathroom set up was really weird and old
We had 2 bedrooms for 2 people .so could sleep 4 adults as 2 queen sized beds
But we had to go through one bedroom to go to shower and toilet and the wash basin was in the actual 2nd bedroom.
It was not particularly clean and net curtain ripped and moldy at the bottom
Lots of condensation in the mornings and no fan in the toilet/ shower
The first bedroom also had the kitchen and TV
We were happy to get a room as everywhere was busy but we probably would not have chosen it if we had a choice
- kane (5/5): -
- Robert (9/5): Happy to stay there again. - Easy to find just off main road
- Jackson (9/5): - The road noise in unit 1 is terrible
- Nathan (9/5): -
- Catherine (8/5): -
- Noud (7/5): -
- Joanna (10/5): Was great thanks love Caroline bay 🙂🙂 - Close to most shops etc. staff were lovely. Toilet and shower off the bedroom.
- Dantas (10/5): -
- Rachael (8/5): Good location, and friendly staff - Clean and tidy unit, very friendly helpful staff, close to town. Though unit is getting old and needs updating and noisy from the busy road.
- Mark (6/5): Simple Stay - Arrived later in the afternoon, and found that the room was ready, but only one bed, not capable of hosting more than a couple and one child, the staff that where on site where very apologetic about this, and noted that previous people that had taken the family room that was listed ended up in this room, very small late 70's style motel room, place to sleep and we got through it...
- Rachel (8/5): Good stay at the motel over the holiday season! - Super friendly and helpful manager, good location. Small space in bathroom.
- Ziye (6/5): -
- Penny (7/5): Ok - Location good Tight bathroom, doors to room can be noisy which woke up others, overall enjoyed stay memt our needs
- Haines (8/5): - Very comfortable bed
- Mandy (7/5): - Very friendly staff. Clean unit. Good location. Shower/toilet room too small with no extractor fan
Heater pump didn't t work
Fridge was turned on high and milk and our drinks froze
Toilet window flings wide open so ppl next door would be able to see into room when using toilet or shower
Bedroom with toilet at end of room ... air refresher would have been appreciated.
- Matautaava (8/5): -
- HAECHAN (10/5): - warm, clean, quiet and good service
- Deepak (7/5): - Host was very welcoming. Good for a night stay over in Timaru The bathroom is very cramped up. Rooms need a bit of work an it's quite old. Bed was a bit uncomfortable found it difficult to sleep. Microwave door didn't open.
- Nina (10/5): Super clean, friendly, and thoughtfully supplied! - Clean, extra thoughtful supplies, friendly welcome and super helpful.
- Anne-Marie (8/5): -
- Lynda (10/5): Great place to stay.. - Great location.. excellent staff..clean and tidy
- Damian (9/5): -
- Neil (7/5): - Greeted warmly by staff, taken to the room and everything explained, very friendly property managers Very old and tired rooms for the money, I stay a lot around NZ and this definitely doesn’t represent good value, which I think is why there were few rooms occupied.
- Stacey (9/5): -
- HIranthi (8/5): -
- Hilary (8/5): -
- Janine (8/5): - The step into the shower was too high for my elderly mother. Because of the steps we were able to access from Evans street. Staff were helpful with that information for access
- Nola (10/5): - The sheets smelled like urine
- Alistair (4/5): - Room was clean but dated. Very noisy with trucks passing on the main highway.
- Brian (8/5): - Great for a couple or family members but one negative being the toilet/shower and basin are all accessed off of the rear twin single bedroom which could be difficult depending on the realtionship of the respective guests?
- Ange (10/5): - Great wee place. Management were amazing
- Carlene (7/5): Easy - Convenient stop on the way from Dunedin to Christchurch for an overnight sleep. Very warm and welcoming family opener/operator It was a little chilly at first. The heat pump was very noisey so turned on the plug in heater and that was much better

Booking.com not reading payment terms. Payment was to be made at premises however message stating booking would be cancelled if not paid prior.
- Holly (7/5): A little underwhelming - The bathroom was very small and the shower curtain was too short. the overall layout was very strange. It served its purpose though
- Janice (6/5): adequate - Availability during a busy time; helpful host. Noisy room just off the main street.
- Jan (8/5): Very good - Very comfortable one night stay.

- Nick (8/5): Very good -
- Greg (7/5): Great location, friendly staff and would happily stay here again. - Unit was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Would have been better if toilet/shower was in different position, ie not having to go through bedroom to get to it.

Price Small bathroom

- Ina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Les (10/5): - Everything that a traveller needs & require
- Mareta (10/5): Amazing, comfortable & friendly - When we first arrived we were greeted with the warmest and loveliest people. Straight away we had a chuckle and they were so helpful. Our room was perfect as it was on the bottom floor and it was first room which made it easy and accessible for our baby gear. Ashbury is located in the perfect spot and is walking distance from Pak n Save, liquor store, Maccas, KFC and other food options. It’s a short drive to the main city centre and Caroline bay. It was super comfy and warm for our baby girl. She slept really well hopefully she didn’t cry too loud for our neighbours but they didn’t seemed bothered when they met her in the morning. We will definitely be back for sure! That we didn’t stay longer lol
- Sandeep (8/5): - Good
- Sam (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lucy (8/5): Very convenient and clean motel, perfect for a short stay. - Breakfast?
Liked the location, 8 minutes to everywhere!
Nice & clean, good service.
Comfy beds. There needs to be a rail or handle to hang on to when getting out of the shower.
My mother in law found it challenging!
More lighting options would be good.
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- Mcdonald (6/5): Nice place, suited our needs - Location was great, handy to everything The room we had was very noisy with road traffic
