The Lake House B&B owner Ken Saxby always wanted to walk out of his house on to a beach.
When he bought the house at Holden's Bay six years ago he knew his, and wife Carol's, dream was fulfilled.
However, the couple have decided to sell the bed and breakfast and relocate to Wanaka to be closer to family.
They bought the nearly 2700sq m property as a family home, but retained it as a B&B, Mr Saxby said.
"We've thoroughly enjoyed our time here, there have been so many interesting guests stay from many walks of life."
