kitchen

Room was very comfortable and very clean! Noise from main road did not affect us at night as the room has double glazed windows. Owners went out of their way to accommodate us for 7 nights as this was a short notice booking. Very pleased with accommodation overall.

Very pleasant stay

Really nice set up, plenty of parking available right at the door of your room. Very spacious apartment with a separate bedroom with King/Queen sized bed plus a single bed in the living room. The apartment kitchen came with full cooking facilities too. 



Pleasant motel with brand new carpeting

We stayed at the Blue Dolphin Motel for a night to get out of our camper van. The 2 bedroom apartment was super clean and inviting. The hosts Dianne and Geoff were fabulous hosts and were very accomodating and friendly! Would most definitely stay again! 10/10 very reasonable price too!

Lovely stay

Great little motel with easy access, easy to find, parking adjacent to unit. Unit was clean and tidy and all services working well. Staff were great and the cat was friendly.
The only negative was the ice tray in the fridge was empty so ice for a G&T, a common problem with motels.

Great

Spacious, comfortable and very clean living/kitchen area and bedroom with I suite. Good location within 15 minutes walking to Caroline Bay. We enjoyed our short stay to see the famous Timaru fireworks.

Comfortable and Spacious Motel Room

Stayed here for 1 night. No road noise which was awesome since being on such a main road. The room itself was dated but clean in fact the sparkliest stainless steel bench top and shower I have ever seen and all original still! Enjoyable to stay here especially if you are looking to relive some old school vibes.

Rustic but clean

Very clean and affordable accommodation. We would  stay again. Yes it is a bit dated but we are not complaining at all. You get what you pay for and most importantly it was very clean everywhere and comfortable. Thank you

Value for Money

The motel units are very clean. Bed was a bit soft for me and shower pressure quite low but it is a very reasonable price for 4 ppl. Very honest motel owners too who run me straight away when I left my kindle behind so we could come straight back and get it. 

Good value for money

Loved our stay so much. The owner was very friendly and welcoming providing us with detailed information about the locality of things in the area and gave us a detailed map. He mentioned how beautiful Caroline Bay was and he was not wrong. The room itself was clean and comfortable but the furniture was a little outdated. The bed was very comfortable and we both had a fantastic night sleep. Kitchen was useful with a good sized fridge and all the utensils were provided. Circulation of air however was an issue as there was no fan and only a heater provided. Internet was capped at 1GB but that was plenty for the two of us for the one night and it was reliable. Parking was free however was awkward at times. Would stay here again if we pass through Timaru. 

Great Place to Stay

We spent a night here recently while travelling the South Island. 
The motel is right on a main highway and we expected a bit of noise, but the back units were too bad at all, and with the bedroom being at the  back of the unit, the noise was minimal to none.
Very dated units, The unit we had was very spacious and had that we needed. Some carpet wear that was quite obvious in the entry way, that perhaps could be covered up or carpet replaced.
Bed was comfortable and of a good size. Bathroom set up a little odd, shower and toilet in one room, but the vanity was in the bedroom.
Well set up kitchen with all that would be need if staying a little longer. Along with a good sized kitchen table.
