Seascape Bed and Breakfast: About Brian Tester| Seascape Bed-n-Breakfast, Paraparaumu Beach|Kapiti Coast Accomodation

Your Host - Brian Tester

Brian is retired and has had many interests in his time. He is well travelled, having visited and toured the British Isles, Europe, Australia, Canada, and various Pacific Islands, staying at many B&B's of varying standards. He is still a keen golfer and is a member of the internationally rated Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club.

Having a Bed & Breakfast has been a great way to meet people from other walks of life and a way of giving people from other countries an enjoyable New Zealand experience.

Brian is from the Hutt Valley near Wellington, and was a fully qualified motor mechanic with his own garage for the first half of his career. He went on to become a motor / fire & general assessor/loss adjuster for New Zealand Insurance for 20 years.

He carried on in this very interesting occupation which included travelling to disaster areas in the Pacific and in New Zealand, to assist with assessing hurricane and flood damage, until retirement.

Once married, but now separated, Brian has two sons and a daughter who are all doing well in their own careers and families.

His interests over the years have included rugby, boat building, boating and water skiing (great for the family), barbershop singing, playing the piano (still does), martial arts, and golf.

Incidentally for golfers wanting to play the international Paraparaumu Beach Golf course which is just across the road, Brian is happy to arrange times and dates.
