Together we love bike
rides, river swimming and exploring, camping, animals, Canterbury
Rugby, bush walks, climbing trees, flying kites, just like any family.
We have loads of time together over winter when it's too cold for
campers and too cold for any maintenance like painting. It's a whole
different fun experience when we have snow on the ground!
We had dreamed of
running a camping ground for a long time, especially after enjoying
our own camping trips, so when we saw this one advertised, so close
to Christchurch, we went along just to take a look but we were hooked
on our first visit" says Heather. That was when we decided to make
the move and eight years later I'm happy to say that we still feel
like that. We even came camping here last season and will do so
again this season!
Life can get a bit
crazy over summer but with the great support of family and friends
we are able to carry on. We get to meet some interesting people,
hear about some other countries, make new friends and enjoy a special
lifestyle.
We want it to be a
place for families to relax and enjoy, whether they're camping or
picnicking. We have lots of ideas for the future include upgrading
the play equipment, planting more natives and adding more cabin
accommodation. It's an ongoing thing, there's always something on
the "To Do" list! But it is wonderful to see people using,
enjoying and playing here.
Brian is a builder
and handyman while Heather has a background in Business Administration
- and we work together to run the business!
