My partner and I recently stayed at the Sefton Homestay B & B, and we had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. The Sefton is a wonderful example of the lovely older Timaru residential architecture and has been kept in immaculate condition. The B & B is located in a quiet street with easy access to the main streets of... More

We arrived on the wrong day, don't know how we got it mixed up. However, there was no problem with Trish. Luckily she had a room free and was happy to fit us in. The accommodation was great, very cosy and breakfast was magnificent. The place was very clean and amenities had been well thought out. We could tell a... More

We stayed here last summer for a nearby family celebration, no kids with us (the B&B would host them fine). The moment we got there we knew we had made a good choice. Handy to the centre, nice and quiet. Friendly and helpful hosts and a lovely place, as well. Oh and the breakfast was amazing too. This is the... More

This is a great place to stay en route to or from Christchurch. Trish and John made us very welcome and were happy to chat about life in NZ which was very interesting to us as tourists. We stayed in the tartan room, not en suite but with exclusive use of a very nice bathroom. It is lovely to have... More

My partner had previously stayed at this B&B for a work trip. He took me with him the second time round as I had not been to Timaru. I found the B&B to be in a great location. Less than a 5 minute walk into the shopping area of Timaru and some great restaurants. It is also within walking distance... More

I have never stayed at a B & B before, but have really enjoyed the experience and the hospitality from the host. The location is great, it was only a shot walk to the center shopping & restaurant area. Will definitely recommend my friends who are visiting Timaru :) thanks Trish & John! More

Impeccable B & B conveniently located to town. We have stayed in many B & B's and found the attention to detail second to none. Wonderful breakfast! Spotlessly clean and nice people too. More

This is our second stay with Trish and John and we were not disappointed. It was lovely, friendly welcoming hosts, a very loveable dog and a breakfast which made our daughter get up. Thank you both for a lovely time. We highly recommend this B&B More
