Overall Ratings & Reviews AAA Thames Court Motel

It is in the middle of the town. Very easy access to everything I needed.

Comfortable bed, easy parking. proximity to park for toileting dogs. Floor of kitchen a bit "sticky"

Easy to do check in.

Very comfortable

Basic clean great price - easy access

The unit was spacious and clean. The kitchen was spotless. However, we did find the unit was not equipped to handle wintry conditions. Main heater was blowing hot air but wasn't effective in warming up the room as the air was directed to the floor in front of it and it would shut off itself after some time. There was a small portable heater in the wardrobe/storage space which we tried to use in the room but it wasn't enough. We did not use the spare pillows in the wardrobe because they did not look like they were changed before our stay (looked dusty). Luckily, heated blankets were provided but we found that some were unplugged from the power sockets and we had to move the beds around ourselves a bit to get the power supply connected. The location was along a major road so there could be a bit of noise in the early night but nothing disrupting our sleep. I do think the laundry usage hours (1PM-7PM) was a bit too restrictive for short-term guests.

Good tidy and clean

The room was nice & clean, enough space for 4 people. But I was not comfortable with speaking voice & footsteps from upstairs.

All good and nice

Handy location and reasonably quiet. Limited heating in the lounge on a cold day. No hair shampoo or conditioner.

It was a great comfortable unit

It was convenient

Very good motel walkable into Oamaru however if visiting the penguins then it is a car ride away.

Very happy with my stay. One of the cleanest motel rooms I’ve stayed in. Great facilities, room was a great size, had everything you’d need. Owner was very helpful. Would definitely stay again. Can’t speak more highly of this property.

What a real gem of a surprise Large rooms, great service, good parking, very clean, great kitchen and bathroom Chinese restaurant across the road cheap large beautifully cooked take away or eat in. We took away. Close to all the town and quiet

There were dozens of flies in the bath room...

Great place to stay a night or two. Main highway busy but not to bad late at night

it was lovely and quiet. the reception guy was very nice and really helpful

stayed here with the family for one night on our tour of New Zealand. Came to see the penguins. Owners were right on site to answer any questions and very informative. At the quiet end of town so no traffic but convenient to both dining groceries and shopping. Could walk to center of town in 25 minutes.

Great price but could use some updating.
