Hubby and I arrived in Geraldine, Accommodation apps showing full.

We made a decision to head to Timaru

for the night, when we came across alil gem with a vacancy sign.

Greeted by a beautiful soul named Angeline and the largest smile, fantastic sense of humour.

Booked us in, walks us to our fully self contained super king cabin/cottage for the night.

Full sided fridge, four top cooker with extractor, microwave, double electric lazyboys.

Yes I said it folks!

Electric double lazy boy chairs! wifi, netflix and all satellite channels, super clean, tidy upto date, super duper comfortable, will definatenly be back, recommended to friends and famz.

Black on grey motel bets expectations 12/10.

Thankyou loved it

Quiet, spotless and a great host

Arrived for a night stay at this motel that I chose on line . Grounds are neat and tidy and the unit was spotlessly clean .

Angeline was most welcoming and friendly . Nothing was an issue for her and she had a lovely sense of humour .

Thoroughly recommend it .

This place is super convenient to get to and it is super cute and has everything you need- even has a small kitchen and full fridge! It was so comfy and cozy! The owners are great!! Very friendly and even gave so many great suggestions on places to eat and things to do nearby!! A definite stay for us when we come back to New Zealand!
