Shirley and Michael's house is wonderful! I have stayed in top hotels all around the world and this is comparable with the additional benefit of their warm company. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived and were also left to ourselves to unwind after a long day of driving in our own private lounge.
Breakfast the next day was another surprise with fresh fruit, cereals, muffins, bread, jams, ham, cheese, etc., etc (the list of items seemed ever lasting)!
If there was a prize for the "Best AirBnB in New Zealand", they would be in the running for the cup. A definately must book when in Timaru.
