We have large wooden tables for dining and a large semi-commercial kitchen to make cooking a breeze.

My work: Lodge Owner/ Event Coordinator
Lives in Wanaka, New Zealand
My husband and I are former ski coaches from the Tahoe, California. We moved to New Zeland and built a ski lodge which then became a wedding venue in the summer. We raised two children here in New Zealand, currently age 13 and 11. We are all passionate skiers and love the outdoors and living in this beautiful part of the world. My family still lives in San Francisco, so we enjoy going to visit them and to our former community in the Sierra Mountains every two years.
