About the House

Welcome to our mountain house

Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined our house as it is today. It has just grown and grown. We have had builders on site for years now so they have been kept busy adding rooms and making changes over the years and our house is now too large for just the 2 of us.

We are fortunate, however, in that our daughters, their husbands and our granddaughters come and stay with us as least once a year each so the house that seems big when it is empty is filled with talking, music and cooking when everyone is here.

Perched on the edge of a river – with magnificent views of the mountains – we still get a thrill each time we sit on the deck listening to the bird song and the river cascading over the rugged rocks. How lucky are we to be in this beautiful part of the world – a rare privilege that we appreciate EVERYDAY!
