Girls trip to The Sea Breeze, Timaru ✨ Slow mornings, ocean views, a little movement, good food and wine, and plenty of time to enjoy the best of Timaru. The perfect mix of relaxation, coastal charm, and time well spent with friends. And despite what the last photo suggests, housekeeping is still included with every stay. The cleaning was entirely self-inflicted 🤍

A moment for the view 🔭

Sweeping views across Caroline Bay, the coastline stretching out below, and on the right day, snow-capped mountains in the distance. Every room at The Sea Breeze captures Timaru a little differently, no two outlooks are quite the same.

One of our favourite parts of every stay.
