Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Timaru District

A fantastic place to relax and unwind. Tranquil countryside views Sue was an amazing host Our wedding weekend was superb and having a place to stay that we felt comfortable coming and going was such a bonus . Was lovely to meet Sues extended family too . We had the most relaxing time Jenny and Steve

This is a very special place. Mary is a wonderful welcoming host with plenty of stories to share. Loved the quiet nights.

We stayed at Shirley's place for a night for our little blue penguins trip at Timaru. The place is absolutely lovely, and our room is located on the ground floor where we have a living room and a large balcony of our own. We really appreciated Shirley's hospitality and her serving us a nice New Zealand breakfast in the dining room on the first floor (where the host stays). We couldn't feel more at home and peaceful at Shirley's place, 5 stars!

We absolutely loved our stay at Waikonini Homestead! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with tea and cake, setting the tone for a truly delightful experience. We stayed one night in ‘Owen’s Room’, and as no other guests were booked during our visit, the homestead felt wonderfully tranquil. The warm, cozy bed made for an incredibly comfortable night, and the meals were a perfect finish to the night. Dinner (prebooked) featured a fish pie, followed by a mince tart with homemade custard—comfort food at its very finest. Mary, our host, truly made the experience unforgettable. Her warm hospitality and engaging conversations about travel, dogs, and life made us feel completely at home. And her delightful Corgis, Peppi and Anne—oh, they were absolutely adorable! The homestead itself is a treasure—an elegant old home surrounded by stunning grounds that invite you to relax and explore. The perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort.

My sister and I had a wonderful night away , Rob was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Absolutely gorgeous home and grounds,, I felt like the lady of the manor. We will definitely be back.

Very cute animals, especially Derek who is so polite and sweet! Breakfast was also really nice and the heaters were quite strong. Future travellers may want to consider about ways to head to the separate toilet in the winter season

Great stay at Allandale lodge! Neat and tidy room, stylish decoration and also it’s nice and friendly to chat with Briar! Highly recommended and thank you Briar and Shaun :)

Brilliant hosts fantastic place. Briar and Shaun are extremely welcoming and make you feel right at home in their beautiful house. They provide great advice and suggestions on what to do based on your preferences both locally and further afield. We had really great conversations and Briar makes really good cakes! As a guest you have access to the lounge area so can relax and make yourself at home. Definitely happy to recommend

Briar was a great host. Greet us at the door when we arrived. She is very friendly and instantly made us feel right at home. The guest house is spotless and such a fantastic place to just chill out and relax. It is such a beautiful home. We were impressed the moment we walked in. Unfortunately we only booked for one night. They have comfy beds and a nice breakfast for us the next morning. Wish we could have stayed longer. Could easily spend a week here. Thank you Briar for the amazing stay at your place and for being such a great host.
