    We felt that the Viaduct Motor Lodge suited our needs for one night but at

    $145 was highly priced. Everything was in order and nothing wrong but

    have stayed in better for less.

    Great 2 bedroom unit, lots of room with a great view. Good facilities. Have stayed before and will definitely stay again.

    Other residents need to be aware that their cooking odours effect other units.

    "Good room but no milk and noisy extractor fan with lights in bathroom" This was given a review of 2 stars (Below Expected)

    Decor of room on Level 2 is pleasant, clean and tidy with a view to Caroline Bay. Has a nice 32 LCD TV screen in the room. However, we did not get any small carton of milk upon check in which they used to give on previous stays 3 years ago (is it because of high prices of milk these days?). I did not ask for it coz we had bought some milk from the supermarket. One of the things I disliked about the room is the lack of a small bedside light. The switch on top of the bed turns on all the ceiling lights. As the bathroom lights have an extractor fan fitted to the same switch, we could not switch on the bathroom lights to use the facilities after 10pm at night without disturbing other guests due to the loud fan sound. Would have preferred a separate switch for the extractor fan. The hair dryer in the bathroom is very hot, and after using it for 1 minute it heats up and stops working. One has to wait about 5 mins for it to cool down before it can be used again. May be okay for short hair on men that dry quickly, but frustrating for women with more hair to dry.

    "In Timaru for a motorsport meeting at Levels Raceway" This was given a review of 4 stars (Good)

    Really nice place. Have stayed there several times now. This time we stayed in the unit attached to the main house. Only disappointment was that there was no stove only a microwave. Other than that, it was a great stay and we would stay there again but in the main block.

    "Bay Viaduct" This was given a review of 3 stars (Average)

    The unit was modern, spacious & spotlessly clean & although on the main road, the double glazing negated any traffic noise.

    The only issue for me was being able to hear the occupants above, completing their ablutions (including toilet) which was a trifle offputting.

    The Bay Viaduct Motel is a brilliant place to stay the night. My partner and myself really enjoyed the facilities and the stunning views of Caroline Bay! It's a great location and we will be back! The owners are friendly and welcoming and give the place the warm and inviting feel to it. I would recommend the Bay Viaduct to everyone. Love the place!!

    "Unwelcoming but comfortable" This was given a review of 3 stars (Average)

    This is a clean and comfortable property but not terribly welcoming. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite with spa bath and had all the mod cons except an elevator. So I (a small female) had to haul my suitcases,and my 80-year-old mother's, to the second floor. That's a big enough issue that it should appear on company's website. Inside were all kinds of signs telling us there would be a $25 charge if we left dirty dishes in the sink, an extra charge if we used an extra bed that we didn't REALLY need to sleep in (i.e. if you're a man and a woman you should use the king bed and leave the single made up). A $20 charge for every hour late checking out. I just think it's a bit over the top and hostile but the amenities were fine.

    "Nice stay" This was given a review of 3 stars (Average)

    We had a really nice spacious room, very clean. Very reasonable pricing.

    The only slight problem that I had was that I thought I had booked a middle floor King room and ended up being located in the front roadside unit which felt less private and more noisy than being in the main building.

    We complained to the reception who explained that they were at maximum capacity due to the Earthquake, which was understandable but they could have acknowledged this when we checked in.

Plenty of hot water to fill the very large spa bath very quickly. The only down side was the trains sunting in the morning across the road but that big a deal.

    Great place to stay if your looking for a quiet get away....tucked away just of the main road your out of the hustle and bustle of the centre of town, but not so far away that you can't walk to take everything in. The rooms were well sized with everything you need and the service was excellent and always with a smile! Top Effort!

    service was fine but big stuff up with booking. We booked via Jasons - this booking did come through to Bay Viaduct and we were left running around town trying to work out where we had booked (didtn have paperwork with me). just back home now and checked emails, i received a confirmation email from Jasons on 30 Nov. yet no booking. could have resulted in us having nowhere to stay. we had to buy a more expensive room. overall disappointed in jasons and bay viaduct for not managing the technology better and causing stress.

    handy to city and caroline bay park. accommodtion we had in the front at bottom level was good with a bit of a seaview . the reception could be a bit more friendly but he wasn't the owner just caretaking so we were told. We will stay there again but only in the front room and because of the location loved being near the park and enjoyed the walks .

    "I Highly Recommend Bay Viaduct!" This was given a review of 5 stars (Excellent)

    I travel around New Zealand for work quite a bit so have stayed in numerous motels and hotels in various locations. I am disappointed that I only got the chance to stay one night at Bay Viaduct.

    With my previous experience, I just want to say that this has been the best place I have stayed at in years. From the time I arrived at the motel to the time I checked out was very good. The condition of the room I stayed in (room 37) was great...the bed was very comforable and the shower was awesome.

    A huge thank you to the hosts for a GREAT motel. Because of my experience in Timaru I want to come back for a holiday...hopefully very shortly for a longer period.

    Should you be visiting Timary, I definately recommend this motel!!!

I really appreciate how quiet the units are, and the staff are very friendly also.
