There is a dam on the Patea river - quite a way inland and very much 'off the beaten track' - on Sunday afternoon, with the weather a tad chilly and not too bike conducive, we ambled over to have a little look-see and found this houseboat moored on the dam itself, not too terribly far from the dam wall!
I have to say that this is the first time that we have seen such a dwelling and we wondered what sort of 'permission' would be required to set up a home like this one. There is a campsite not too far away, but for the most part, this is an extremely remote part of the world.
Beside the dam, set a little back from the water and under a clump of trees, is this 'extention' to the houseboat (we imagine). Everything your heart could desire in the way of ablutions! The sign up on the top left of the structure mentioned something about being 'Orsome' - I guess it's a matter of opinion! Dis al!
