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

Aaron Court Motel
The room. The floor creaked badly. The bench top oven didnt work. Curtains needed attention. Couch was uncomfortable. No milk

The Grosvenor
The rooms were very dated. Not enough power points, toilet virtually impossible to flush and paintwork peeling. No water provided in the room. The bed however was large and comfy and the restaurant passable.

Panorama Motor Lodge
Modern, extremely clean and comfortable. Very nice staff too. I had a large, top floor apartment style room. No elevator though. Very high recommendation.
