Beautiful beach bungalow

What a fantastic stay we had at this property. It has it all. The view, comfort, location, cleanliness and it really does make you feel at home. I love how much of the artwork featured is shots of Timaru. The decor was stylish with a fantastic bathroom and kitchen. The beds super comfy. The neighbor hood was so lovely and quiet it was a joy to sit out side listening to the waves. Would highly recommend staying at this property. The owners were great to deal with should you need anything, but they pretty much have all the bases covered already.

Great View Great Host

Kat was an amazing host who was more than accommodating. Bringing us extra fire wood for our fireplace and then a slow cooker down for me to cook my stew. Great location across from the water and close to major shops. Very warm, homely home

Just loved our stay here

Just loved our stay here .Was so relaxing looking out on the water .The beds were so comfortable ,the house spotlessly clean with all modern conveniences.The house must be really well insulated as it was boiling hot outside but nice and cool inside. Perfect location beachside and only a few minutes drive from town. A scenic walk just across the hill down to Caroline Bay. We loved Timaru so much we have decided to return to live !
