Timaru is a major port city in the southern Canterbury region of New Zealand, located 160 kilometres south of Christchurch and about 200km north of Dunedin on the eastern Pacific coast of the South Island.

Timaru offers a top selection of quality attractions offering loads of information and entertainment while in NZ. Timaru District sits at the doorstep of many inland lakes where sailing, water skiing, boating, windsurfing and fishing are popular summer pastimes. At least five South Island ski fields are within easy distance of Timaru. There's something to interest the whole family in Timaru.

The city's gently rolling hills mark a subtle change and provide the setting for an austere streetscape partly built of volcanic "bluestone".

There are also activities such as climbing, mountain biking and swimming to be enjoyed while you are here as well. So why don’t you organise your next holiday destination to the pristine city of Timaru.
