Our stay at the Timaru Top 10 was delightful. The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, and the facilities were excellent. It's conveniently located near shops and restaurants, which is a plus. However, we had some noise issues from nearby residents during the night, making it hard to get a good sleep while camping.

I had a pleasant experience at the park hotel, which offered good basic accommodation and was perfect for my one-night stay with a trailer. The location was quiet, away from the loud highway, and the units were clean and well-equipped. However, the lack of sufficient toilet paper was a minor inconvenience. Overall, I really appreciated the friendly team that helped us park our trailer easily, and I would definitely consider staying again.

I had a fantastic time at this park hotel! The units were exceptionally clean and cozy, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the heater already on when we arrived, making it so welcoming. While the facilities were nice, the heating could use some improvement, especially for the kids' room. Overall, a great experience with a few minor adjustments needed.
