- Our GBI home, Molesworth's, is on the other side of GBI, completely self-sufficient, in a sheltered harbour - if you are down in NZ, it's a great place to hang out for a few days, ferry and services are nearby, private and lovely! Cheers Dwell readers

- Batches? We don't need no stinking batches! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Interesting use of gregorian walls.

- I am thinking of buying a bach but to live in permanently until I can afford something else. But what is it like to live in a holiday park permanently where holiday season is probably overrun with activity? Is there someone out there that could fill me in? I am new to NZ so am still finding my way around. Its the spectacular view that has grabbed me!
