About the host
Hosted by Pieter
Our family has been camping at Lake Middleton (the lake you can see from the bedrooms) every summer for around 60 years. Ivan and Betty Bulling (my grandparents) started the tradition and my extended family continues to meet here every year.
Ivan established a furniture business (Ivan Bulling Furniture, based in Invercargill). My father and uncle continue to run this business and most of the (somewhat mismatched) furniture has come from the Ivan Bulling factory. The kitchen was designed by my cousin and brought to life and installed by my father and uncle. The oak vanities are made from a tree cut down by Ivan in Athol many years ago. You will see a photo of him on the photo board in the house, standing beside the tree.
Piet’s Place contains a lot of my cycling memorabilia (please respect these items) and Charlie’s Hut is named after my red fox Labrador, Charlie.
