Where to eat and stay in Timaru

48 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Timaru, Canterbury — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 48 venues in Timaru — 36 places to eat and 12 to stay. That makes it the 7th-largest of the 213 towns and suburbs we cover in Canterbury, carrying 2% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 28% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Timaru eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 10 cafés, 13 restaurants, 10 takeaways, 1 bars and 2 pubs.

17 of the 36 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are sandwich (4), pizza (3) and burger (2). Relative to the rest of the country Timaru is unusually strong on sandwich and pizza — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 10 publish opening hours (21%), 1 are recorded as step-free, 2 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.

For a bed, Timaru runs to 12 listings — 1 hotels, 9 motels, 1 serviced apartments and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 75% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Takanini (48), Thames (49), Ellerslie (49) and Havelock North (49) — average 13% accommodation. Timaru runs at 25%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 48 venues in Timaru carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
