Kingsdown Manor B&B Timaru is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in Timaru, where guests can make the most of its seasonal outdoor swimming pool and garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The bed and breakfast features garden views and a picnic area. We stayed in a large room with a view of the sea. Very clean with a comfortable bed. The rooms are part of a converted church complex in the country. What stands out is the real B&B breakfast served to you in a dining room. The host is friendly and accommodating. There are good restaurants, about 10 minutes' drive in Timaru.

Each unit is fitted with air conditioning, a private bathroom and a well-fitted kitchenette including a microwave, toaster, fridge and kitchenware. At the bed and breakfast, each unit comes with bed linen and towels. Louise was a very gracious host and made us feel at home. Accommodations were nice and the room was best value for the price. Location was good for visiting Arthur's Pass and Castle Hill. Continental breakfast was great and everything was very clean. Highly recommended if you can book it. Louise's crew even waived as we passed their house on the TransAlpine express the next day!
