About the host

Hosted by JoM97194

We live on a lifestyle block at Browns in Soutrhland and love to holiday in TeAnau, The beauty of the Lake Bush and Mountains are very special and we are lucky enough to Airbnb 2 properties in TeAnau. I have travelled extensively and enjoy meeting and talking with guests.

Why they chose this property

We love to holiday in our typical Kiwi Batch with a large section there is plenty of outdoor space and its great to sit on the deck at night and watch the sun go down. My husband went to school in TeAnau so its nice to come and see friendly faces of the past.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor living area with Bbq(Summer Only) and Outdoor setting to enjoy that early evening sun, lovely to watch the Tui's in the trees
