We thought their upgrades to the room had been carried out with taste. All staff in all areas where great and friendly. The bar manager was very professional and we thought went out of her way to help. Other items that might help improve. Handle in shower cubicle, would help a person with mobility problems. Repair wheel chair ramp.

A beautifully renovated old building, with the perfect mixture of timeless classic architecture and modern amenities. Loved the original elevator, was quite charming, and faster than some modern elevators we’ve used. The rooms were tastefully decorated with a modern bathroom. Being on the top floor was amazing, as we had views of the ocean and port, right from the bed. The quaint restaurant was warm and inviting with its exposed brick walls. Service was top notch.

It’s a grand old hotel with lovely ceilings in the foyer in particular. The receptionists are very pleasant and welcoming. I was in a very nicely refurbished room on the second floor. Very comfortable and clean, and a really good shower with very good water pressure. I slept well, and enjoyed being close to cafes and the railway station. All in all a really nice place to stay. It will be my first choice next time I travel to Timaru.

Overall really good.

On arrival the reception area did not appeal too much. However the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly. Our room was on the second floor and we were so pleased with it. The whole floor has been recently refurbished and our room at the front was lovely.
