As a motel in a small town it does what’s required for a nights stay but any longer might be an issue The strange sign stating $50 fee will be added if your dishes are not cleaned and put away is off putting and the lazy boy chairs tipped over backwards 2 in our group so may need to warn people bit cold bit dated but is in Timaru so didn’t expect much
