Thank you for the review very much appreciated! You may experience some road noise in our studio apartments if you are a light sleeper. Our one bedroom apartments have the bedrooms at the back of the apartment and we are told by our guests they find these rooms quiet and comfortable. You might like to try one of those apartments if you are back in Timaru. Regards, Coastal Team

I was stuck in Timaru for an extra 2 days because of the flooding this past weekend and Pam and the others were amazing. They firstly rang us once we had checked out, to say the road ahead was blocked and we were welcome to return. They let me know as soon as possible that I could continue to stay while the road North was blocked.
