About Us

We really like meeting people from other cultures and this has led both of us to our current occupations. Trish is an ESOL teacher and John has a wholesale business supplying International Ships at the Port of Timaru. We have 3 children, all have left home, 2 are currently working overseas and 1 is living in Timaru with her husband and has produced our 1st grandson.

Trish enjoys cultural activities, attending local theatre productions, reading, walking our dog "Ollie" and travel.

John is more sports and outdoor minded, loves road cycling, played golf until the cycling bug bit! He enjoys yachting and of course, like most New Zealanders loves rugby.

We both enjoy keeping fit and love going for “coffee” rides on our road bikes.

Why not come and be our special guests at Sefton Homestay?
