Aaron Court Motel
Kitchen was fully stocked. Bed was nice and clean. But mold on the curtians and around bottom of shower.

Parklands Motor Lodge Timaru
Unit was much bigger than we needed. The kitchen had all the facilities needed. The TV was a bonus with loads of sky channels. Very comfortable king size bed. The only downside was the noise from the trucks thundering by.
