I needed a quiet place to knuckle down and crank out some focused off-line work. Country Thyme was perfect. This is an ideal place if you are touring NZ and need a place to chill for a night or two. Two Fat Possums is an awesome eatery/pub 7 min by car. The gardens here are superb. Great hosts who you never see unless you call on them. Note that the internet is not great to drive a computer (it's a local-regional issue) so it's not the place for computer-based internet work.
