Timaru is an agricultural service port, and the second largest fishing port in New Zealand.
Cruising the region
Bill McIndoe reports: "I do not recommend Timaru for yachts unless you have friends there or local knowledge.".
Perhaps one would be best served continuing to nearby Oamaru or Christchurch / Lyttleton.
