Pleasant small studio with large modern bath, nice roomy shower. No kitchen, but a microwave, electric kettle and lots of dishes. Comfortable bed. Esther was warm and welcoming, and provided fresh fruit and soup if I was hungry. There is a New World supermarket a short drive away, and Timaru is not so big. The Botanic garden is enjoyable, and on my subsequent drive to Dunedin, there is a great public garden right along highway 1 in Oamaru worth stop. I recommend parking on the street.
