The stay with Beatrice was just what we needed - close to Dunedin but in the quiet of the steep and very fertile slopes of the Leith Valley. The valley road joins the Dunedin street grid at the last light controlled junction which made it easier to locate from the city side. The State Highway One had a slip road very close to the valley road. The older part of the farmhouse was our area and the verandah on three sides gave full cover for clothes drying, the firewood stacks and the wheelie bins, where waste separation applies. The car was close to this, so that that we were well sheltered. Farms do have flies and there were a lot, but the Scots who named Dunedin did not seem to have brought any midges, which are far worse. The last 600 is so metres of Poulters Road are not sealed but my Scandinavian experience indicates that the surface is well maintained throughout. The Leith Valley Road climbs later unsealed to a crest on the Northern Motorway but the junction is of very poor quality and best avoided. In house support in many ways was of the very finest kind - the WiFi top class. Lots of improving done, and the next project is the bathroom. Large and colourful garden. Good mobile phone signal for my U.K. phone, none for the Skinny SIM, from a cheaper provider.
