Dave and Bridget are empty nesters who have a magnificent (16 year old) home built by themselves. The home was built for “entertaining” with large family room/kitchen, separate dining and lounge. Outdoor decking built for the sun, with rural views afar for breakfasts or dinners when the weather is conducive, pool and spa and outdoor fire. Dave is an excellent cook and Bridget is not bad either. Choose to either book the Loft with own ensuite, or share some time and hear some yarns of farming, horse breeding and riding, or just relax by the pool.
