More about the Bramwell Booth property

Bramwell Booth is situated on beautiful rural land dominated by a historic homestead. The residence is merely three kilometres from the township of Temuka and the city of Timaru's facilities are only twenty minutes drive away.

Residents occupy four small accommodation units located on this fifteen acre property. The most recent unit was purpose-built to suit the needs of those with physical as well as intellectual disabilities.

Our accommodation is particularly suited to those who have adopted a smoke-free, alcohol-free lifestyle and who enjoy the tranquillity of rural living.
