About the host
Hosted by Lodewyk
Hello every body.
We bought this property about a year ago.
We liked it because of the nice garden and the location.
We have spend the last 6 months preparing the shed for guests.
We are retired dairy farmers and looking forward to our new lifestyle and meeting people this way. We think its the perfect spot as a destination and to relax amongst beautiful gardens and not far from amenities.
Looking forward meeting you .
Cheers Louie & Kevin.
