The lighthouse was sited in another location in the past.Now it is easy to get to on 3 different walks. It is by the railway track so look for the bridge to cross over on. The history is written up. The site provides great view of Caroline Bay and to the north and another walk along the coast. Good site to capture Timaru by photographs. Lots of native trees and some exotic trees around the lighthouse. Navigation aid is now a large triangle visible to the ocean . The ocean is the Pacific and the next bit of land is South America over the roaring 40s of latitude.

This light house was designed by John Blackett, Marine Engineer, and from 1878 to 1970 was the main harbour navigation light. In 1980 the Timaru Harbour Board moved the tower from its original position at No 7 The Terrace to a site at Maori Park. It was restored by The New Zealand Historic Places Trust and acted as the rear leading beacon for entry into the port. In 2010 it was again relocated to this position.

One of the few remaining wooden lighthouses in New Zealand. Designed by John Blackett & constructed in 1878. This is a rather unique, designed lighthouse overlooking Caroline Bay & the Pacific. Has a white tower with a red door & red lantern room at the top. A very easy walk or drive from Highway 1 & well worth a visit when passing through Timaru
