Fodor's Review:

This 1873 house is named for a ship called the Wanderer that sank near Timaru. Because it's close to Timaru's main road, it can be quite noisy, but it has a homey atmosphere. The large kitchen-lounge has a fireplace, and the upstairs rooms facing the street catch the morning and late-afternoon sun.
