Thanks

Cabin is actually a misuse of the word. The NZ huts are a cabin in what I regard the true sense of the word. This was an old fishermans house and two families used to live here, in the time when they were rowing/ sailing the open sea to fish. It has since then fallen down and been renovated as a retirement hobby by a friend of mine (took him 6 years).

For power, a solar panel with a decent battery pack was installed a few months ago and this runs a few lights. There is also gas for cooking. A shower exists, running ice water from the mountain stream. Warm water is a byproduct of placing a large kettle on the stove. It is a very, very comfortable place to stay.

On my first NZ visit I was hounded a fair bit for my whiteness and the overall deer-scaring potential of my skin...
