Stay Timaru
The only thing was that I was used to a firmer mattress. And maybe an extra pillow would have been helpful.

Aspen on King Motel
Overall a pretty good property. The staff were fantastic and wonderful to talk to. The unit was clean and tidy. The only negative was there wasn't too much around and you need a car, but I'd still recommend the property for a well priced stop-over.

Bay Viaduct Motor Lodge
Room was large, clean and well equipped. The staff were extremely helpful. Was slightly noisy at night with the proximity to State Highway 1 and you could occasionally hear the large trucks going by, but generally quiet.
