Your Hosts
Chris and Colin Maclaren
Colin has semi-retired from architecture, and is now focusing on painting and enjoying the great outdoors. He has climbed many of the peaks in the vicinity, including Mt Cook. He enjoys mountain biking, kayaking and exploring the vast countryside of the Mackenzie country in search of spectacular views for his next painting.
Chris has had a career in education and, although enjoys the outdoor pursuits available around Lake Tekapo, takes a less active approach to life. She loves the peacefulness where she can enjoy her weaving and writing.
Although recently moved into this new home and gallery, they have had for many years, close links with the Mackenzie country. They enjoy sharing their knowledge and love of the area with their guests.
