As someone who works wherever I roam (a digital nomad), I was interested in how well this place would go for a one month stay. And overall, it worked out very well: comfortable, everything I needed, mostly very peaceful, and with workable internet. The host, Elvie, is very pleasant and generous.
The building is entered from the far end of the host’s back garden and has a kitchen window that looks over the lawn and garden. Opposite the entry door is a set of French doors that overlooks a second smaller lawn with another accommodation space (used for friends and family) directly opposite. The north facing end window has a long view over paddocks that often have grazing sheep.
It is possible to stay here without a car by hiking to the edge of town and taking the local bus service from there (My Way). A taxi back with groceries is around $33.
The WiFi was sufficient for streaming YouTube and Neon, but got a bit stuck with TVNZ OnDemand. Zoom-like services were a bit variable.
