explore the central south island

Whether holidaying in Timaru, visiting friends or relatives or just passing--through, you will enjoy the very relaxed and friendly atmosphere of our spacious parkland within the heart of Timaru, close to shops and the famous Caroline Bay.

You will find all the other essentials of New Zealand life close by too, including excellent recreational and sporting venues. Add the park’s safe playground, jumping pillow and nearby swimming, this is the perfect resort for families too.

Stay in Timaru, just off State Highway No1 and:

• slip down to the supermarket, shops, takeaways & restaurants on the 'next block'
• walk the scenic route to heated swimming pool, the coastal pathway and Caroline Bay
• at the Bay, leave the kids in the skate park and stroll in the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden
• take the Piazza elevator for a panoramic view of the Bay and mountains beyond
• then to the main street shop just a short step further on
• take a tour of our top-rated art gallery and museum, both within several minutes drive
• workout in our multi-sports complex within close driving distance
