Activities

Timaru

Timaru is a busy coastal South Island port and holiday resort and is the gateway to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the Central South Island. The town is known for its elegant Victorian and Edwardian buildings, made of volcanic bluestone. Timaru's focal point is beautiful Caroline Bay. This well-equipped and safe swimming beach is bordered by a 20ha reserve which has children's playgrounds, gardens, tennis courts, an aviary, a skating rink and plenty of car parking. Caroline Bay Trust Aoraki Centre is now open and boasts a wide range of aquatic activities including a hydroslide, lazy river and toddler play area. The centre also offers gym facilities, beauty therapy services and a café. Every Christmas/New Year Timaru hosts the popular Caroline Bay summer carnival. The region's history can be explored at the South Canterbury Museum, Te Ana Maori Rock Art Centre, or take a wander through the Aigantighe Art Gallery or Timaru's lovely Botanic Garden. Activities in the Timaru district include walking tracks, mountain biking, golfing and fishing. In winter there are several ski fields within reach – try heli-skiing or glacier skiing for something a bit different. The Washdyke Industrial Park, Phar Lap Racecourse and Levels International Motor Raceway are situated within 5-minutes drive on the north side of Timaru
