New home a short walk away from town. We booked the smaller of the 2 rooms and it was quite small. TV is only offered in the common room, but you can watch dvd's in your room if you need to. Our room was very clean and the shower pressure second to none. We haven't enjoyed a hot shower like... More

thanks for an awesome stay in Timaru. As a frequent traveller for work and leisure, I can say this is one of my favourite places to stay. Great views, modern and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was fantastic and the shortbread biscuits with the nespresso coffee was a nice touch. Rosemary dropped us to the wedding which just shows how nice the... More

A great B and B and apart from Rosemary's inability to make scrambled egg the hosts were most helpful and charming. The room had a wonderfull view with large glass windows on two sides and we had access to a large lounge with similar grand vistas. It looked a long way from the town but it only took a 20min...

We stayed at Pleasant View on our family trip around the South Island. We flew into Christchurch and hired a car and drove south to Timaru. We found the drive south was just about to get tiring, and we drove into town. The directions that we received from Ian and Rosemary were great, and we were soon in their wonderfully... More

Pleasant View B&B does deserve its name - the sea view of the house is breath-taking! We stayed there for only a night but it was a pleasant one - the bedroom and the washroom were clean, tidy and stylish. Also we enjoyed the walkway just across the house - which you would have a chance to see Hector's dolphin... More

A very apt name! Both the owners and the view were pleasant indeed. The room was very clean and spacious and overlooked a neat garden and the bay. It is worth the little bit extra for this room. The lounge was well appointed and has all the amenities for comfort. Timaru is a good place to stop on the way... More

We stayed here for three nights and had use of both rooms and the private lounge view with a beautiful view over the bay. Both bedrooms were of a good size and had excellent ensuite facilities; the lounge was very comfortable with the Sky TV and a good selection of DVD's. A pair of binoculars is also provided for guests... More

Only stayed there one night, but we were very pleased that we selected the Pleasant View. Rosemary and Ian are very helpful and friendly hosts, making a dinner reservation for us the night before and providing us with a very decent cooked breakfast in the morning . Our room, I believe the smaller of the two, was not large but... More

We stayed at Pleasant View for 1 night en route to Dunedin from Christchurch. Booked it last out of all the places we were visiting because the other accommodation choices in Timaru were hardly inspiring, but we did not regret this one bit! It is slightly further from town than some of the other accommodation available, but we had a... More
