Cactus Fire

8/3/2021

The Bay Hill in Timaru is home to a row of fabulous eateries, with al fresco dining options and beautiful views over Caroline Bay. Whether it's brunch, lunch, coffee, sunset drinks or evening wining and dining, heading up The Bay Hill is a must-do when in Timaru.

Given our love for hanging out there, we were beyond excited when we heard the team at Zest were opening a new restaurant! And we weren’t disappointed (of course) when Cactus Fire opened its doors.

Time to get scoffing.
