This is a superb cottage close to one of the beaches in Timaru. The cottage is very well appointed, very spacious, and has everything we needed. The location is excellent, with a great sea view, and sunrise views, and it is very quiet and peaceful. We especially enjoyed the excellent shower and the fireplace!

The room was warm and immaculate clean, the bed quite comfy. I like the self check-in system. Location wise is perfect as it's close to the centre and easy to get there. I've stayed here before and my expectations have been fully met. Totally recommended.
