About the host

Hosted by sallon27

Host profile image
Bruce and Sally have owned this property since their 3 girls were young. We have spent many happy family hours here, playing games after dinner and spending daylight hours playing in and on the lake.
Bruce has always loved fishing and Sally is learning to fish now that the girls are grown up. Sally loves to walk along the lakeside.
We live about 2 hours away from the property and enjoy going for the weekend for the peace and quiet that the lake offers us.

Why they chose this property

Over the past few years we have been renovating the property and now have double glazing, insulation through the roof, underfloor and external walls, new bathroom and new toilet with new curtains throughout. We have recently installed a water filtration system so you can now drink the water direct from the tap.

What makes this property unique

Peace and Serenity - listen to the Tui's in the morning. Enjoy the view of the lake and mountain during the day.
