Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.Guest review byMarkNew Zealand - 8.0

A pleasant town to visit with good restaurants and boutique shops. The Thai Sukhothai restaurant is one of the best in New Zealand. Bustling port exporting logs, cement and seafood. Good beaches are a runaway hit with young families.Guest review byCorreia - 10

Timaru is big enough to have a variety of shopping and things to do, especially if you are a first-time visitor. I go there occasionally for my work, but I enjoy walking around the central business area to look at the old buildings and long established businesses. There is a somewhat "comfortable/established" air about the place, that would have me happily relocating to live and work there permanently if my circumstances were different. The natural features of the countryside, wild eastern beaches and mountain foothills are all available with a hour or so by car. Worth exploring!Guest review byJonesNew Zealand - 10

The first thing I want to mention is the Tesla charging station. There is several charging terminals in Timaru which is very important for traveling in South Island by electric cars. We didn’t see penguins , seals and sea lions in Timaru because we didn’t have enough time to stay there and not very lucky. The sand in Caroline bay beach is very soft and clear. If you can come in summer, you can enjoy the beach walk and may luckily see penguins and seals in the evening on the beach.Guest review byCathy - 10

The sculpture park was beautiful - very interesting to walk around. We went to try and see the blue penguins at night but only one came ashore! The people in in the information centre were extremely helpful.Guest review byTracyAustralia
