10/10 Exceptional

Excellent and helpful owner. Very well located and clean with everything a guest could need. Only could use better floor sound insulation and the nearby intersection was busy - double glazed windows made it very fine for sleeping.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was amazing. Close to everything, the manager gave great advice on dinner, sight seeing, how to see the blue penguins. Clean, well equipped room with a great view of the water. Highly recommend

Loved it

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the host who gave us some amazing tips for exploring the area and surrounds. Without her advice we wouldn’t have taken the route we did.

Very nice and comfortable.

Nice room with Sea View. The air conditioning made the most on these very hot days!

The Bay Viaduct is my go-to when staying in Timaru. The rooms are superbly modern and up-market, the views are pretty bloody outstanding and it's located just a short stroll from numerous restaurants. Cross the road and you're at Caroline Bay and the fantastic park that's part of it.
Nick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely people
Samuel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Bay Viaduct is in a great location for a stay in Timaru - close to Caroline Bay and the main shopping street. The bed was very comfortable and the room was large and had all the facilities we needed. The spa bath was lovely but did take a long time to fill. Even though we were close to the main road the traffice noise wasn't an issue. On the down side one of the touch lamps did not work properly (which I advised reception but it did not get replaced). There was only the ability to have all the lights on in the room and we felt it would be nice to have a separate option to light only the kitchen area.
Robyn, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy as.

Easy access to the beach, very busy outside but didn’t listen anything while in my room. If I could choose I’d ask for a view, even the street, just to keep busy while inside. But definitely a good place to stay.
Renata, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room 26

Room 26 has a window above the bed and it is like a basement. It was a bit claustrophobic. But overall the room is good, very comfortable and good size. The ladies at the reception are so adorable.
