Timaru was larger than I realised but staying in Caroline...
Timaru was larger than I realised but staying in Caroline Bay area was fabulous as close to the hub of activity / cafe. Played golf at Timaru and whilst the course is 18 holes, it was very flat but 2 or 3 of the holes, around the lake, were interesting. Had dinner at Pier 64 which was absolutely excellentVersfeld - 10Scored 10
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

- 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 132 reviewsThe Terrace Apartment is a Harbour-Side sea cottage, it overlooks the Port of Timaru. The apartment has extensive views to the South & North, but vision is restricted to the East because of a huge Silo. You soon get used to the Silo, as the Harbour Views, watching ships come & go & the Tugs busily plying their trade of pushing & pulling ships into the wharfs takes over your line of sight. The Town Centre of Timaru is 260metres walk & there are 2 pubs within that range.
