Maree Hynes Interiors @ Harlau

Harlau House Café & Interiors is a destination-style visit just outside Timaru, combining a café, a large interiors showroom, and established gardens into one cohesive experience.

The café provides a relaxed setting for coffee, brunch, or lunch, while the interiors showroom offers a curated space filled with furniture, homewares, and design pieces. It’s set up more like a styled environment than a traditional shop, making it easy to browse and take inspiration as you move through the space.

A key part of the experience is the outdoor setting. The courtyard and surrounding gardens create a slower, open environment where visitors can sit, wander, and spend time. Garden tours are also offered, giving people the chance to explore the grounds more fully and understand how the outdoor spaces are designed and used as part of the wider property.

Harlau House suits those looking for more than a quick café stop — combining food, interiors, and gardens into a visit that feels considered, spacious, and easy to enjoy at your own pace.
