Picturesque Houseboat Afloat

After some years in the building, Mr Alex McPhail can look forward to many years of pleasure enjoying the tranquillity of Lake Waikare-moanafrom his recently launched houseboat. Supported by sealed drums, the capacious vessel holds four bunks, with facilities for cooking and eating.

A keen fisherman, Mr McPhail can tow the houseboat around by launch and find safe anchorage anywhere round the lake's edge. Two or three days at a time can be spent in spots not accessible by road or other means of communication.

Transport from the McPhail property at Waipaoa to the lake ended with the safe launching of the houseboat into the water.
