Easy as.
Easy access to the beach, very busy outside but didn’t listen anything while in my room. If I could choose I’d ask for a view, even the street, just to keep busy while inside. But definitely a good place to stay.

The Bay Viaduct is my go-to when staying in Timaru. The rooms are superbly modern and up-market, the views are pretty bloody outstanding and it's located just a short stroll from numerous restaurants. Cross the road and you're at Caroline Bay and the fantastic park that's part of it.
