Our room was great. We had a view of the bay which was neat. The gal that was on duty was amazing and so very helpful. I was able to get a load of laundry done which was appreciated. This motor lodge was very clean and comfortable.
A small town we stayed overnight only. Had a beer at the local pub and dinner at the excellent Austin92 restaurant in the evening. Close to the larger centre Oamaru which we spent some time in. The quiet environment in our excellent accommodation made for a relaxing stay towards the end of a busy trip. Didn't see much of Temuka but thoroughly enjoyed the bits we did.

We stayed in Temuka because the accommodation was cheaper than in Timaru or Geraldine. It is a central location, but there is not much to do while you are there. We walked the main street and found a small antique shop. There was a popular restaurant. We did not book early enough, so we had to travel to Timaru for dinner.

Temuka's great main village street is typical of small -town NZ with Victorian and Edwardian frontages above street verandas . Temuka began its European life as "Wallingford" , a town surveyed in 1863 by Samuel Hewlings one of the first Eurpeans to settle in this area. Also on the main road into town on HWY One at 199 King Street are two magnificent giant Redwood trees planted in 1886 and still standing tall and strong ...Welcome to Temuka.

We were only staying the one night (Wednesday) on the way to Dunedin as we left Christchurch when husband got home from work. We looked in the shops before we left and bought meat at the butchers. We had several holidays in a cabin at the motor camp back in the 1960's.

Hall on the Terrace has amazing facility's , very friendly host , clean and tidy, great value for money. Allowed me to cook a curry. Great wifi and cellphone coverage.
Fantastic breakfast included in the price. Spa baths and shower in each apartment. Great cooking facilities. Highly recommend.
A place with plenty of history and a delightful ambience. Plush period style furnishings with all the modern conveniences hidden away in subtle places.
Could easily spend more time there if we were to return to Temuka.
Hayley made us feel very welcome and provided us with much of the interesting local history. There were plenty of quality books provided with interesting facts of the region.
I was intending on staying overnight in Timaru but the property I had selected turned out to be a dirty disappointment. It was getting late in the day so I back tracked up to Temuka to this exceptional property. Richard is a delightful host, the unit was impeccably clean, well equipped and of generous size. A handy small store directly across the road. Will definitely return.
I was doing research on family/ancestors from the late 1800,s in Temuka, which is why we chose the location which was ideal. Great restaurant only a few minutes away which we recommend. The description of our accommodation was perfect and lived up to its word.cosy, warm and spacious. Hayley was lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.
We were pleasantly surprised by our room! It was very roomy (we had the mobility access unit) and it was so quiet well equiped kitchen full stove awesome shower, air con/heat pump and close enough to town just a little walk. Awesome hosts very helpful will be booking there next stay in Temuka
Hall on the Terrace was quirky & quiet and we loved our stay there. Hayley was so welcoming and as well as sharing her knowledge of the history of the hall she also recommended a lovely local restaurant for dinner. We had a great time in Temuka and wished we could have stayed longer.
The most amazing place to stay! Temuka is a stunning place with a great friendly community, the accommodation was perfect, so much character & the owner Hayley was so helpful & bubbly. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Great value!!
The Aalton Motel was the cleanest Motel I have ever stayed at. It was comfortable and had a large heat pump that unit warm. Great value for money. Located in Temuka it is just a short drive to Timaru or Geraldine.
Great stay. Arrived early evening and the owner had turned on our heater for us.
Room was very comfy and I would happily stay there again.
Recommend to others looking for a layover in Temuka !
The Hall on the Terrace was a unique experience in Temuka. It was great for our short stay. We liked the history of the Hall on the Terrace and enjoyed the peaceful setting.
