Best Hotels in Timaru
Explore Timaru with 30 hotels near iconic landmarks, popular shopping streets, and top dining spots.
The Fort Guesthouse Timaru ★★★
"The toilets and showers are many times cleaner than those in most hotels. The rooms are also warm and clean. It's a shame that it's unmanned so you can't easily ask questions when you need to."
Bay Viaduct Motor Lodge ★★★★
"The service was terrible 👎 I will never consider this restaurant again."
Aaron Court Motel ★★★
"Very disappointing, cold, noisy, lack of maintenance and outdated. Though the manager did replace a portable heater immediately, when we told him the existing one was broken and dangerous. The bedroom had a window above the bed with a missing wedge for the handle to close up against, had to roll up some cardboard and jam in against the handle to close the window tightly to stop the cold breeze blowing in. Taps in bathroom and kitchen required maintenance. Bathroom cold tap would randomly start running slowly or full flow at times, including in the middle of the night even though it had been turned off tightly."
The Grosvenor Hotel ★★★
"The room was nice after the renovation, but the hotel itself was too old and the soundproofing was terrible at night, making it feel a bit eerie. We checked out early in the morning and didn't dare stay long."
Anchor Motel ★★★
"Nice room, it was exactly like the pictures and description. Price performance value was good, they turned the heater on before arrival and there was a heated blanked. Friendly and very helpful staff and you can park infornt of your room. Only negative thing was the little hole in the window in the bathroom. I wish you and your family the best."
Asure Avenue Motor Lodge ★★★★
"The room is very big and you can eat on the balcony, which is really nice."
Coastal Ridge Apartments ★★★★
"Clean and tidy, quick check-in"
Cedar Lodge Motel ★★★
"The Wi-Fi reception was terrible, but the location was fairly convenient, so I had no choice but to stay at this hotel. The showerhead in the bathroom had very little water pressure, making showers take a long time. When I tried to plug in my hairdryer, the power suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness and chaos. When I tried to call the manager to fix it, she was rude and had a very unpleasant attitude, as if we had done something wrong. Although the price was reasonable, I probably won't stay here again."
Parklands Motor Lodge Timaru ★★★★
"Nice place. Great arrangement for after hours self check in."

The Coast Motel
"We stayed at The Coast Motel in Timaru. Although the place was clean and the hosts friendly this place has some serious health and hygiene issues. The worst issue was that the strange shower system would go scalding hot if you changed the setting or turned it off. We ended up having cold showers to be safe..This would be a disaster for people with young children. The hygiene issue was having to wash dishes in the hand basin. This is so Tapu. We left our dirty dishes expecting them to be exchanged for clean ones. They weren't. There was also some dodgy wiring cover in insulation tape. Would certainly NOT recommend this place."
Harbour View Motel
"Just a reminder the reception will close at 8pm. Booked a lot of hotels during the whole journey so didn’t read the booking details carefully and didn’t realize the reception closed at 8pm. So we need to call the hotel when arrived. Location is good. Facility is good. Basically got everything we need. A simple kitchen is included."
Blue Dolphin Motel
"The hotel is right by the roadside, easy to find, and has convenient parking. It's also very close to the spot where you can watch the little penguins return to their nests. If you don't mind the roadside noise, it's a good option for a rest stop while traveling."
Northpark Motel
"Clean and tidy, but the soundproofing is so-so. You can hear your neighbors talking very clearly. Most of the rooms are on the second floor, so you have to climb stairs."
Fitzgerald on King
"My wife and I stayed in apartment 2 on the 27th November. We were pleasantly surprised by the immaculate condition of this apartment . The apartment looked as though it had just been refurbished and was ultra clean . The beds are very comfortable. The host was extremely helpful and pleasant. This motel is situated close to the CBD . We would definitely stay here again ."
Ashbury Park Motel
"Accommodation in the city, convenient, has a small kitchen, but the room does not keep sound, the sound of the car driving through all the time."
