My next buy will be a small ski chalet in Ohakune, south of Tokaanu.

excellent, do you all use geothermal heat in that area for the homes?

,,, hydro, wind and geothermal sourced power all go into the national grid. We have an interesting situation here. We're up for $NZ1,5b worth of upgrading for the national grid. The present [Labour] government's idea to fix it is to blame previous governments. They're running a $NZ7,4b suplus and want to give it away to buy votes from those on welfare instead of upgrading infrastructure like this and roading. There's one person on welfare for every four that work. During the 1960s there were twenty eight working for every one on welfare. This government released a giveaway budget last Thursday that sacrifices growth for welfare. Disgusting.
