This most comfortable and secluded of lodges is a former private residence. It is owner-run, situated on a 600 acre estate and is surrounded by 25 acres of New Zealand’s most beautiful English style gardens with sweeping lawns and a five-acre man-made lake. The gardens also contain a swimming pool and tennis court. The lodge is a haven of peace, quiet and relaxation. It is noted for its warm welcome and its excellent cuisine and has a fine cellar. The gardens adjoin the 350-acre Spy Valley vineyard and winery, whilst nearby are the famed Cloudy Bay, Montana and Hunters vineyards. Slightly further afield, sightseeing takes in the Marlborough Sounds and Kaikoura where, in season, whale watching is possible. Fly-fishing is available on many local rivers. Accommodation at Timara consists of just four luxury suites, each with their own particular character. All are individually decorated and have views of the gardens, lake or mountains. They are all completely private with air conditioning and their own en-suite bathroom, some with spa baths and some with private sitting rooms. They are furnished with fine art and antiques and decorated in quality furnishings, with the finest Italian bed linen. | Style | Country house casua | | Air/Con | Yes | | Dining | Yes | | Children | No children under 15 years of age. | | No. of Bedrooms | 4. | | Activities | Relaxing grounds with swimming pool and tennis court.
