Our Journey
Harlau Today
When the sun's shining, Harlau House is a favourite spot for a courtyard lunch, just 10 minutes from the centre of town. Simply head inland immediately outside Timaru's southern boundary on Beaconsfield Road, where the plains yield to gently rolling hills and you’ll find Harlau. Aim for a table in the large courtyard, so you can admire both the former stable building made of brick, which houses the café. The Harlau House Cafe courtyard is surrounded by lush gardens and well-established trees offering a view of the 19th-century homestead, all while you enjoy relaxed, casual dining.
