Kingsdown Manor B&B Timaru, hotel in Timaru

Kingsdown Manor B&B Timaru is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in Timaru, where guests can make the most of its seasonal outdoor swimming pool and garden.

Booked the suite with very modern cottage athetistics. You can tell the owners poured their heart and soul into the place. It came with all kinds of amenities, always a plus. The owner (Mel) was so attentive and so sweet, she gave my mum a rose to go! The place is beautiful and so adorable! Super comfy bed. Got to try some local jams and relish with the breakfast. Beautiful sunrise. 100% recommended.

New York Minute, hotel in Timaru

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, New York Minute is situated in Temuka. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

We stayed 3 nights - It was so exceptionally cozy and relaxing that we could have stayed longer!. Everything you needed was supplied. The bed and pillows were so comfy that it has us looking for new ones for home. The hosts followed up while we were there to ensure that we were happy. (we were more than happy!!). Parking is right outside the door by the deck. There was a table, 4 chairs and a sun umbrella, so good for breakfast and evening meals. (sheltered from the wind). We think this is the BEST accomodation that we have stayed in South Canterbury. Acredit to the owners.

    This is a budget motel and dated. But, it is affordable, the managers are easy to deal with, it is close to town, easy to get to, roomy enough and well enough furnished. Furniture is old, but it is clean and presentable and carpet is new. Bedroom is at back of unit so quiet enough for sleeping even though the front of the unit is on the highway. I would recommend for anyone needing an affordable place for an extended stay.
