About the host
Hosted by Melissa Davenport
We love to read about everyone’s holiday when we come up. It is really cool to be able to share this place with so many other people. Mum and Dad bought this place in the early 70s. We had been coming up here to stay since the early 60s. They paid just $3000 for it then. Hard to believe now.
There is a picture up on the dresser in the lounge which shows what the original cottage looked like. It was a couple of army huts. The main one had a coal range in it and that is what we did our cooking on. I have memories of cooking our toast on a toasting fork up against the fire on the coal range. In the mid 70s Mum and Dad had the main Cottage built.
Mum and Dad have since passed on and it is our privilege to carry on their legacy and preserve the Cottage for future generations. Each new generation gets taught how to fish, how to row and drive the boat, and of course how to jump off the jetty in the summer.
