We stayed at Glenmark Holiday Park for two nights and thought it was absolutely fantastic! We were very impressed with how clean and well-maintained the park and accommodation were. Everything is so thoughtfully put together it’s clear that a lot of care and pride has gone into keeping the place in top condition. We also had a wonderful chat with the owners, who were so friendly and welcoming. We're so happy we found this little gem. — Alex & Josh

Absolutely loved our stay! The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower was hot with great pressure. The owners were friendly, and everything was clean, making it feel like home. We really appreciate the pet-friendly policy, as we always travel with our small, well-behaved, cage-trained dogs. It would be wonderful if more places accepted pets as they cause less disturbance than many people. A huge thanks for this! The cookies were a highlight—our toddler loved them! We will definitely be back when we visit Timaru!
