We were eagerly anticipating our stay at Castle Claremont. Rob greeted us with a warm welcome on arrival. The history and old world charm of Castle Claremont takes you back in time, but this did not compromise the level of modern convenience offered. Our room was clean, cosy and comfortable and Rob had a beautiful fire glowing in the main sitting area. Rob has lovingly restored this home with every attention to detail and we felt very privileged to stay in his home. We were offered a delicious roast lamb dinner to share around the kitchen table with an enjoyable evening of reminiscing bygone days in Aus. We would highly recommend staying at Castle Claremont for a unique BnB experience at Timaru whilst visiting NZ.
