We stayed and this lovely quiet motel whilst travelling around the South Island over Christmas 2012/2013. The owners were extremely friendly and went out of their way to meet our needs. The rooms are very spacious, very clean (serviced by cleaners daily), and quiet. The interior is very up to date. Close to city centre. Would recommend and stay again.

Warmly welcomed and surprised at the size of the room, with a kitchenette area, an outdoor sitting area and a bathroom (which I think was supposed to be for the disabled) we were very comfortable here. Quiet area but just a short drive to the centre of town. The only thing lacking is a view. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed our three night stay at the motel. Well equipped rooms eg good sized fridge, microwave, oven top, dishwasher etc. Clean and up to date interiors, well serviced daily and friendly staff. Would recommend to family travellers who enjoy comfort, peace and attention to detail.

We stayed here after completing the rail trail and therefore booked because the room had a spa pool. The room was huge! With a big bed, nice furnishings and decor. Plus a large balcony. Balcony sliding door was quite heavy to push open, may need a bit of attention. Spa bath worked great. Only issue i could see was when... More

Very large motel unit, modern, clean and with a kitchen that was much better equipped than most motels. Beds were large and comfortable and the room was quiet and warm. Friendly, helpful owners completed the picture. Will definitely stay here again when in Timaru.

Stayed here a couple of times on business, and would definitely stay here again. The owners are friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. (Even giving me an onion to go into my evening meal to save me going to the shops - that's good service!) The rooms are clean and comfortable, the... More

This is my second stay here and would definitely stay again. Two bed units are like a mini apartment with all the facilities you could ask for. On the main road but noise not too intrusive. Overall an excellent stay.

Our stay at Avenue motor lodge was a very pleasant experience . With modern rooms, tastefully decorated, space to spare and an awesome shower. I found the hosts to be very friendly and helpful and with the offer of a great complimentary coffee is a bonus.
