Descrição
Kia Ora, Gidday, Hola, Bonjour,
We are situated halfway between Cromwell and Wanaka. A regional Bus from Queenstown passes by, and we can pick you up from the main road, but there is no other sort of public transport for going in and out of town.
We have been self-building our forever home for ten years now. There is still a way to go, so we live in an old bus. You would be accommodated in a modern self contained caravan with power and cooking facilities. We do have running water, flush toilets and internet access so not so shabby!
We have one friendly fur baby, soon t

In your time off there is 25 acres here to walk and explore and Department of Conservation land nearby also for walking. 30 minutes walk away is a rock area for climbing.
