“First Class B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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.

Room Tip: We chose the tartan room - excellent!

“Fantastic Again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

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

“Lovely old home - great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

My wife and I stayed at Sefton Homestay for 1 night on 17 January 2011. It is a lovely old home close to the centre of Timaru. We stayed in " The Tartan Suite " - with a king sized bed and small bay area ( ideal for using my laptop ) . The private bathroom with separate shower was just across the hall. We would have preferred our own en-suite but the Blue Room had been pre-booked. We relied on the excellent reviews on tripadvisor at the time of making the booking on 4 December 2010 and we were pleased that we chose to stay at the Sefton Homestay despite the lack of en-suite facilities. Trish is a very good hostess - we did not meet John who was at work in Timaru during our stay. Our continental style breakfast was very good. Sefton Homestay is also great value.
