About the host

Hosted by Andrea Forrest

Host profile image
Andrea and Lyndon, have been living here in the rural South Canterbury for over two years and we love the community and environment we live in. Both are semi retired and have an active lifestyle. We love the peace, our pets, our cattle, and the friendly community we live in.
We have a great garden which always needs something doing to it, cooking reading and sometimes landscape painting.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to live in the country and close to the fly fishing (Lyndon is a keen fisher).
The city is too much for us, the traffic and noise etc.

What makes this property unique

We are close to lots of interesting things, close to the ski fields and many rivers for fishing.
We are off the beaten track and offer an unique and private experience.
