Top 10 Talbot Park Hotels

We switched up our itinerary last minute so was limited on availability. I selected this and were addicted a bit early sns they happily accommodated us. Additionally they offered some discounted restaurant coupons. We had a corner unit away from the street. It really was quite large and enjoyed the 2 sofas. The amenities in the bathroom were plentiful too. It was a clean unit and the receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. Good to know about this ”chain” for the future!

The location is quite superior. On the main road, there is a gas station nearby. There is a convenience store with a late opening hours. It is rich in things. Many restaurants in the town are closed at 9:00 in the evening. There is also a side. Park, good scenery. The front desk was very nice and the reception was very kind. When checking in, I also sent local fresh milk. The labor cost is higher there, and the front desk and the cleaning seem to be one person, so it is best to clean it when you check out. There is also a beach in Timaru. In the evening, you can see the blue penguin homing. If you miss the Omaru Penguin Protection Center, you can choose to watch it inside.

DATE OF TRAVEL: July 2023 Stayed here for 3 days for a business trip. First impressions were.... disappointing. The hotel was empty, the chef was also at reception and the building looks run down. HOWEVER, check in was fast, the rooms were well appointed, if well travelled, and the bed was very comfy. Sadly I didn't get back to my hotel room until late night each night but the breakfast was fantastic and affordable. All the staff were super friendly, welcoming and accomondating. Room walls were thick as I didn't hear my colleagues in the other rooms at all, even when we were talking. Shower was great. Good pressure and the bathroom had all the basic amenities you would need for a regional motel. Though some people may not like it, the interestingly spaced corridors made the hotel feel like a rabbit warren and I actually quite enjoyed that. The gym was probably the best one I'd seen in all of my hotel stays in Canterbury. I was really impressed. Sadly it was closed before I left and when I came back so didn't get a chance to try it. It's only a few minutes away from the main restaurant ***** of the town and the food at all of them was fantastic. Caroline Bay Beach is beautiful and I enjoyed my morning walks there. Would I stay again? Though I may never have a need to again, most definitely if the need did arise. First looks are certainly deceiving with this place but push through it and you'll find yourself a gem of a stay =)

Beds were super comfy and our 2 bedroom room was huge! great for young children with plenty of space inside and the lawn right out the back door. Motel is the cleanest I have ever seen and was great that the room got refreshed when we were out. The owner was great to us and showed my husband to our room plus turned on the heater which was awesome when we were getting in late at night. We hardly noticed the traffic on Sunday morning but was a bit louder on Saturday - nothing some ear plugs can't fix. We will definitely be choosing to stay at the phoenix motel again.

The hotel has free attached parking within walking distance to the sea and you can go visit the penguin nesting area. We got a large room with a kitchenette and balcony, Everthing is clean and wall maintained and the owner is nice ana helpful.

Clean, comfortable and spacious Slightly noisy by the road 😂 But the motels are like this

We really enjoyed our stay, sadly only for 1 night. We stayed in an Exexutive Spa unit, 5 people, and it was fab. Lovely and clean, spacious with very good kitchen facilities. Management was super helpful when accommodating a surprise extra guest. Beds were very comfy and the spa bath was enjoyed very much. Would love to return.
