Always something to do in Geraldine, rain or shine!

Rainy Day?

Perfect for a fossick round the museums of Geraldine.nz, a leisurely lunch at one of our outstanding eateries and maybe a film later on at the historic cinema.

State of Emergency declared.

The Timaru District Council has declared a State of Emergency for the Pleasant Point- Temuka Ward.

This is due to a risk of flooding in a specific section of the Ward following damage to a stop bank along the South side of the Opihi River between Butlers Road and Kerrytown Road. Extensive scouring of the stop bank poses a flooding risk with potential to be a threat to life and property.

All residents in the affected area have been contacted by NZ Police who have assisted them to evacuate.

Security has been put in place for the affected area.

The Timaru District Council Emergency Operations Centre will continue to monitor the situation in liaison with Environment Canterbury and partner agencies.

A further update will be provided on Thursday morning during business hours.

The 2022 ski season is off to a great start with sunny days and awesome snow and did you know that Geraldine.nz makes a great base for a snow holiday?

Located in South Canterbury, between two renowned ski areas, Geraldine has 4 ski fields within driving distance - not to mention ice skating, snow tubing and hot pools too.

And for non-ski days, we have the best night skies for star gazing, historic cinema for cosy flicks and firelit eateries for long, lazy dinners.
