Thank you Sally and Paull for being such gracious, attentive and discreet hosts at ‘Lake End’.
In need of a quiet retreat, doing my mind, body and soul a favour and wanting to fulfil a long-held desire to feel like a member of “The Shire” for a time, I found your ‘Lake End’.
It was everything I hoped for and more. A beautiful rural setting overlooking a lake, secluded and private, restful and totally charming.
Loved the bush bath at sundown, the last rays pouring in, hearing tuis calling and dive bombing the trees then down to relax on the terrace, listening to the frogs and admiring your lovely garden. It seemed like time had stopped.
The interior is cleverly designed to provide all the creature comforts and I felt as if I was in a warm, cosy cocoon. Loved the quality linens, the very comfortable Futon bed and the whole organic feel of the Hobbit house. A magical place!
I returned home, refreshed and energised. This is a destination unto itself and one that I have happily broadcast to friends and family. A one of a kind opportunity not to be missed, fellow travellers.
