My partner had previously stayed at this B&B for a work trip. He took me with him the second time round as I had not been to Timaru.
I found the B&B to be in a great location. Less than a 5 minute walk into the shopping area of Timaru and some great restaurants. It is also within walking distance of Caroline Bay.

Our room was well appointed, clean and had a homely comfort. The little extras made it....we had a decanter of water in the room for us and little torches next to the bed in case of an emergency (we didn't need them). The bathroom was heated and had great Shampoo/Conditioner for our use. With out a doubt this was the best shower I have EVER had. Hot and with amazing water pressure. I didn't want to get out!
The beds also have electric blankets on them, but we didn't need ours.

Opposite our room was a sitting room for guest use. They have a huge bookshelf with a variety of books and games, etc for you to borrow. My partner was particularly into all the sports biographies. There was also a TV and computer, along with a tea and coffee station.

We booked in breakfast for 7.30 and when we headed down there was a lovely spread of cereals, fruit and yoghurt. We were asked if we wanted a cooked breakfast (which of course we did!) and were served two delicious free range eggs and perfectly cooked bacon. The toast kept coming as well.I really appreciated the presentation of the meal.
During breakfast we got to know our hosts. Trish and John are lovely people and you can tell really enjoy what they do (they are very good at it as well). They made us feel welcome and comfortable.

It was nice to see their family dog is still a part of the action! I've always loved a dog that smiles :o)

The day we checked out was rainy and horrible in Timaru. Trish made me feel welcome and I sat in the guest room with the heater on and a good book for a few hours until my partner was ready for the trip back to Christchurch.

Greeat stay overall and would highly reccommend the B&B. It was my first experience of a B&B and I would deffinately go back.

The only comment I have is that their were no locks on the bedroom doors. This is probably standard with B&B's and didn't bother my partner in the least. I just notice things like that - however I overcame and enjoyed my stay in Timaru!

I have never stayed at a B & B before, but have really enjoyed the experience and the hospitality from the host.

The location is great, it was only a shot walk to the center shopping & restaurant area.

Will definitely recommend my friends who are visiting Timaru :)

thanks Trish & John!

Impeccable B & B conveniently located to town.
We have stayed in many B & B's and found the attention to detail second to none.
Wonderful breakfast!
Spotlessly clean and nice people too.

This is our second stay with Trish and John and we were not disappointed. It was lovely, friendly welcoming hosts, a very loveable dog and a breakfast which made our daughter get up.

Thank you both for a lovely time. We highly recommend this B&B
