My husband, mother in law and myself spent 10 days in New Zealand and staying at Aspen on King for one night in Timaru very memorable in a good way. Megan, our wonderful host, bent over backwards in trying to help me with a problem at my end that I was having with my wifi that was above and beyond... More

This was our second stay and as good as the first. The rooms are large, comfortable and well equipped with a good Internet connection. Also, the restaurant is very good while the Botanic Gardens are close and well worth a walk around.

Clean room, well priced, friendly staff. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of blankets. Kitchenette heavy on the "ette" with only small microwave and kettle, but all was surplus to our requirements anyway. Would stay again.

We are returned visitors, who stay here a couple of times a year or more when we are back in NZ. We travel frequently and are from NZ but live overseas.

I was shown two, two bedrooms units to choose from and (unfortunately as it turned out) chose Unit 1 which sits at the side of the restaurant and on the street. I told the female manager I... More

The service at this motel was extremely bad. I will not even consider staying here again while current management is in place. Friends (including children) were coming from Dunedin; I was driving down ex-Christchurch. When I made the booking on 1 January I advised that we would be arriving late morning on 2 January, would wish to check in then... More

We stayed with friends and their kids in unit 16 which is 3 bedrooms, it was perfect! Plenty of room for the kids to spread out and play and had everything we needed. The free wi-fi and the trampoline topped it off as the kids and parents were happy!! The beds were comfy and the kids loved the hot tub... More

We stayed in one of the units at the back of the motel. First class accommodation. Room well furnished and enjoyed eating breakfast on the large balcony. Large room and a large bathroom with a spa bath. Arrived late in the evening and appreciated room serve from the motel's restaurant. The blue cod was delicious. Check in and check out... More
