A. M.Aspen and King - Timaru's Hidden Gem for Smelly Cyclists and More! ★★★★★
I've stayed at Aspen and King a few times now, and it's become my go-to spot whenever I'm in Timaru. Whether you're rolling into town on four wheels or two, this place has you covered. As a road racing cyclist, I'm well aware that we can be a bit... fragrant. But the staff here are legends—they always look after us without batting an eyelid.
Highlights:
Spacious Rooms: The bigger rooms are a real treat. They're kitted out with all the mod cons you'd expect, and there's plenty of space to swing a bike (or two).
Accommodating Staff: These folks go above and beyond. Need a hose down after a muddy ride? They've got you. Forgot your charger? No worries. They even welcome us back with a smile, despite the lingering aroma of Lycra and road grime.
Reasonable Rates: You get great value for your money here, especially considering the quality of the rooms. Your wallet won't take a hit, even if you've splurged on that new carbon wheelset.
Location, Location, Location: Easy access to Timaru's best cycling routes and everything else you need in town.
The Experience:
Every time I stay here, it feels like a home away from home. They’re consistently friendly and welcoming, and it's clear they take pride in providing a top-notch experience. It's not just a bed for the night—it's a cozy haven for the weary traveler (and the smelly cyclist).
If you're looking for a place in Timaru that's got all the comforts without the fuss, Aspen and King should be top of your list. Five stars, hands down!
k. i.Absolutely loved our stay here, will definitely be our go to when we are in Timaru from now on
M. P.A beautiful Motel, nice quiet rooms, all facing the sun. Great staff and super clean.
B. V.Nice hotel. Room was clean and quiet.
G. M.Stayed 1 night of Tuesday 4th July 2023 in room 3.
Located on main route into Timaru from the south.
Rooms were clean and fresh.
Upkept well.
Fresh milk provided. Traffic noise from the road was minimal.
Bed not to saggy or soft.
Nice to see a Gideon Bible in the bedside dresser.
Shower pressure was a bit lame however.
Enough parking space available while I was there.
Rooms warmed with a heat pump.
Other than that I'd be happy to stay here again.
R.This motel is close to the Botanic garden and 2 mins drive from the hospital. The staff are very friendly and makes you feel at home. I've stayed here 5 times and I'm so happy I did.
J.First time in this accommodation. A great welcome from the temporary manageress. Nice clean room with all the expected services at hand. Highly recommend if passing through. About a kilometre out of the main town but enjoyed the short walk.
C. C.Rooms are clean, tidy and well presented. Staff are friendly and accommodating even on late check in. Easy access to store and parks. Good value for money..
D. F.The staff went above and beyond in looking after my booking, from my last minute reservation to waiting up way past their close time to make sure I was able to enter after having a late flight. Honestly super friendly and awesome hosts. Thanks for taking the time to provide great customer service, something which is definitely on the decline
M. R.Visited my family staying here. Nice large rooms, good quality fittings. The best thing is the spa in the bathrooms. Seems reasonable prices.
It's located a little out of the centre of town, but nice and quiet location and within easy driving distance of anywhere in Timaru.
P. S.The hosts were helpful and very friendly. The unit was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and plenty of parking available.
Timaru has a great boardwalk in Caroline Bay and we did get to see a little blue penguin come in after dusk to the rocks by the port after waiting about two hours! Worth it though.
Would recommend the Monteith's pub in Timaru also, a very yummy meal.
k.Excellent location. Room was modern, clean, well presented and comfortable. Staff very accommodating for my late night arrival, leaving room unlocked and heat pump on. Would happily stay there again.
M. J.Very tidy motel with good facilities. Location is good and plenty of nearby parking on and offsite. Supermarket nearby. Management very friendly and accommodating. Mattresses on beds are due for replacement as they aren’t very comfortable. But otherwise a pleasant stay. Would be nice if the bathroom heaters stayed on longer than 20 seconds.
B. B.This place is great. Awesome staff, really nice rooms and oh boy it has a spa bath!! Really good vibes here, felt very cosy and everything was super clean. Will stay here again without a doubt and I recommend it to any travellers passing by!
J. G.Lovely spacious rooms. Warm, clean and comfortable. Great for the family. Rooms are not double glazed so rooms closer to the road hear the night traffic. Otherwise Lovely stay
A. J.Friendly staff and Clean, comfortable, generous rooms at a great price. I travel a lot for work around the country and this is the first hotel that I would happily return to without looking for something better elsewhere. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the region
F. L. d. P.Good motel to stay in Timaru. All the rooms are clean and tidy and have kitchen facilities. If you prefer you can also use the available bbq. Plenty of carparks available and the reception is always great.
H. G.Away from the rumble of highway traffic but still near town and the Botanic Gardens, Aspen is a great choice: rooms super clean, attractive decor and freshly decorated with some nice eco-features. We choose spa bath room - excellent! Designated parking. Friendly staff Very plzd with our choice.
t. w.first impression was of very helpful staff, nothing was a problem. Lovely tidy spacious rooms , quiet, relaxing. Handy to town. PLUS we had a beautiful spa bath for an added bit of heaven!!:-)
G. P.We booked this motel because we have stayed at this place many times before and been happy. However after this visit and the response from the owners we will not stay again. We paid $172 for a studio room ( this was more than we have paid previously) that was substandard in quality. It would barely rate two stars, see photos of the bathroom.|Had trouble sleeping because there was a very bright light outside our room that we couldn’t turn off, it was still on at 11pm.|The condition of the bathroom was terrible with a shower over the bath with poor water pressure and and old curtain.|In the morning we found the fridge wasn’t working and our milk was warm.|I spoke to the man on reception about the fridge and he said they would need to replace it. No apology for our spoilt food. I also spoke to him about the state of the room and he said we got an old room because we booked via booking.com and not directly with the motel! That our room was only worth $130 a night. |If motels want to use Booking.com then they shouldn’t discriminate against the guest.|Very poor service from this motel.
C. H.Very dated unit. Bed was comfortable and nice wee playground for kids but terrible mould coming through the paint in the bathroom. Heater in bathroom didn't work and no fan. Staff are friendly.
K. P.Great place to stay overnight. Clean modern & friendly staff.
We were impressed by the spacious rooms, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Nice and quiet. The free DVD rental library and wifi were also great.
J. &. K. R.We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment and it was so roomy and comfortable, there are 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms, even has a spa bath tub. With 5 people in our group this place was perfect, the managers are very kind and accommodating .
M. B.Clean, warm and inviting rooms. Beds and furniture are comfortable. Sky TV, charge back meals and a central location. Brilliant place to stay for work, over night or a holiday.
J. M.Our go to place as it is quiet, has considerate guests, is clean and well equipped. We especially like the suites with their generously sized bathrooms.
N. G.Clean beautiful rooms and lovely customer service. Unfortunately, the internet is really slow :(.
I.Friendly staff, comfortable rooms with decent sized TV and has everything you will need. Unlike most other motels in Timaru the free Internet is actually good (each room even has it's own router).
L. C.This a great motel. The rooms are really spacious and always clean and tidy. The staff are very helpful and cheerful and quick to sort on issues. thanks!

i. h.Stayed for only 1 night, nice living area but shower and toilet in one minuscule room, never seen a room so small, had to step up to get into shower, which had steel base, water pressure so strong it was actually hurting to shower (couldn't turn pressure down), shoulders hitting walls when sitting on toilet, loud fouled mouthed builders everywhere cursing, swearing etc, try to get downstairs room as upstairs pretty ordinary, like the outdoor seating area outside unit
