About the Area
Our house is located 50 meters off main rd, in a small street or was a lane, very quiet. North facing sun all day. I bus a day in morning 20 mts from our gate [school bus to Timaru] but intercity goes past ]main rd] 3 times a day at $4 per person if they have room. Just far enough out to think you are in the country and not big city. I am a school bus driver semi retired.
