What Guests Said About Timaru:

It was easy to get around Timaru.
It was easy to get around Timaru. All roads are well sign posted and the roads are in great condition. We used Timaru as base to visit other tourist attractions nearby and our stay at Glenie Cottage BnB was a perfect location to relax after our touring around. The town is clean and tidy, as much of New Zealand is. We loved the unique Steampunk Museum. The adventure playground at Carolyn Bay would be a child's dream come true. Timaru, you have designed a top notch adventure playground to cater for all children. A must visit for families with children. Well done! As an older couple we were impressed with the amazing boardwalk that allowed us to walk around with ease and read the information boards on display. This is a credit to the town.

Our accomodation was amazing the owner paid so much attention to detail. A bag of rocky road chocolate just to mention one. The apartment was more than we expected and reasonably priced. We ate a tv the Japanese restaurant just a block away it was superb. I’d never been to Timaru before and would certainly recommend.

Lovely old city with some classic old buildings and stores.
Lovely old city with some classic old buildings and stores. Nice cafes and restaurants. Easy to get around with call up public transport and cheap. Lovely Caroline Bay and penguins. Nice in the evening to see them come ashore. Good choice of dining places from Asian to Customary. Nice Indian restaurant. I ate most of my meals at the hotel which had a good selection and well presented. A games room at the hotel for those that like that sort of thing. Nice friendly staff.

Best playground for kids, even teens would enjoy it.
Best playground for kids, even teens would enjoy it. Great flying fox and a hamster wheel for silly adults. Shops are interesting.. not plastic malls. Coffee houses everywhere. Aorangi Park is an excellent event stadium too.PattonNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0
Timaru was a lovely little town , we spent most of our time...
Timaru was a lovely little town , we spent most of our time at the Caroline Bay Carnival & visited other Towns in the region on day trips . We did find the lack of Restaurants & bars that were open over the New Year period a problem which made it difficult to find places to eat & drink & obviously our accommodation was not what we had expected of a Hotel stay . Other than that Timaru was a good trip as my partner had never been there before & we would definitely visit again but stay somewhere else

We didn't know what to expect of Timaru, but it surpassed...
We didn't know what to expect of Timaru, but it surpassed our expectations, with good shops, nice streets and good restaurants to be found. Would particularly recommend the Old Bank Bar and Grill, which serves the most wonderful food. We had the roast-of-the-day there, and it was the best roast beef and vegetables we'd tasted anywhere in a restaurant! Pricing VERY reasonable, and they actually have a "seniors" menu, which is even cheaper and acknowledges that older people often don't want as big a helping as younger people. We also dined in a Thai restaurant in the middle of town, which was OK. Very nice atmosphere! There is quite a large branch of the Farmer's Dept store there, which is well stocked and has, typically for Farmer's, very pleasant, helpful staff.Jantzen

- 9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 101 reviewsMel and Greg were very welcoming hosts and provide a delicious healthy breakfast from local sources. They have a lovely garden full of beautifully blooming roses surrounding their unusual property complete with tower. The courtyard makes a wonderful wedding venue complete with chapel and birdsong. For fly fishing enthusiasts such as my husband an excellent local fishing guide Paul can be booked through them. An excellent restaurant recommendation in nearby Timaru completed our enjoyment of the stay.AllidaUnited States of America
- From $100.77 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 920 reviewsI booked a room in the last minute as I didn't plan on coming to Timaru and I arrived one hour later at the hotel. The receptionist was very friendly and actually upgraded me to a bigger room. The room was quite big and everything was clean. I used the option to have breakfast, so I had to place my order by 8pm the evening before and in the morning I could eat it in the bar downstairs. The bar is actually quite nice and lively (not in the morning ;-)

The lady manager was very friendly and very helpful and even gave us some cartons and tape for packing our cartons of stuff we wanted to freight from Timaru. She also let us extend our check out time. We were very grateful.ShirleyNew Zealand
