Clean and Tidy but small.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Mar 2024
This was a very small motel room for three people there was a king bed in one room and a single bed in the other room along with two chairs and a table and chairs which made it very cramped. There were two hot plates for cooking and a fridge but so fans or air conditioning. As it was summer it was very stuffy in the unit so I suggest that maybe an air conditioning unit or at least a fan in each room. The unit was clean and comfortable but the bathroom was small. There is off street parking and it was quiet overnight to sleep. The rooms are serviced daily.

Another amazing motel in New Zealand. Our room was very comfortable with separate bedroom and very comfortable bed. Everything was very clean and tidy and car parking right outside our room. Would highly recommend. Reasonable rates as well.

The motel is conveniently located near the Botanical Gardens south of the centre of Timaru. It is on a main road, but we heard no road noise, despite being only two units back from the entrance. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had the impression that our unit had been built a couple of decades back, but had been renovated to a modern standard. It was spacious, with a large living room, a small kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and two bedrooms each with a large double bed (this meant the space around them was quite narrow). We were very comfortable there.

Room tip: Parking at this motel is not a problem.

We had a very pleasant stay at Cedar Lodge Motels. Jody was very helpful in trying to fit us in on a weekend when everywhere was booked out. Our unit was lovely, clean and modernised and well away from the main road traffic. Would most certainly book to stay there again when next in Timaru.

We can't recommend this motel highly enough. Firstly Pam and her team were super friendly and went above and beyond for us and made us feel so very welcome. They upgraded us to a gorgeous 1 bedroom unit which was super quiet with a huge comfortable bed, very spacious and such comfortable lounge chairs, & an extendable dining room table. Also many windows to open for ventilation if needed, with a beautiful outlook onto the spacious garden area. The motel is next to the Botanical Gardens as well, as an extra bonus. We couldn'f fault this place.
