Parklands Motor Lodge Timaru

My husband and I arrived quite late (hours after checkout) and the hotel desk staff had assured us that the room would be ready for us. As expected, there were no hiccups or hassles and we were in our room. The hotel staff were gracious towards us and offered to be available should we wish to contact them after we arrived and if we encountered any issues. Would definitely always stay at Parklands if I am ever in Timaru. The rooms were clean with all available amenities and it was a perfect stopover for myself and my husband

We were upgraded to a 1 bedroom room, which was nicely decorated, new curtains and carpet and a large spacious bathroom. Adequate kitchenette with an oven/cooker but no dishwasher. Comfortable bed and the bed linen was of a very good quality - not thin, like in some places we have stayed in NZ. It's right on the SH1 road heading south to Dunedin. All in all. we thought it was brilliant value at roughly £80 for a night

Very clean room, (thank you to the cleaners), lovely friendly owners who were willing to help us with our requests. The room was really warm and sunny too. Handy to supermarket and petrol station, and not far from the CBD. BIG THANK YOU TO PARKLANDS MOTEL. Would definitely recommend it to other people.

Good sized unit and super clean. Reception staff happy and friendly. Kitchen had what we needed to make breakfast. Bed was comfy and warm, TV worked and Sky was accessible. I was impressed with the 'Rubbish', 'Recycling' and 'Compost' bins - it's the first motel we've used in our NZ stay that has Compost Bins.

It was exceptional for the price we paid and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff service was excellent being prompt with requests in a lovely manner. It had been well updated and the spa bath was lovely. Adequate parking and in a position in the town to access the bay and township easily. We checked out Centennial Park, the penguins and had a nice meal at the Bay Hill Bar. Glad we did.
