Location

You are holidaying in a remote rural location on a working farm, there will be sheep and cows roaming around, the track out to the cliff is rough. *Wifi is currently a 4G data SIM, so reliability drops at peak usage times. The national fibre network is due to be laid in 2022 so we hope to have improved Wifi soon.
