Now here's a nice little hideaway for concentrated listening... hideawayhomes.nz/a couple of snaps:  Martin Logans + Quads, a tidy replay system...  view from deck across to Cooksferry's favoured Oreti Beach, and across Foveaux (  ) Strait to Riverton (Riviera of the south!) and the Takitimu mountains.  Omaui beach, the only north facing one in Southland  disclaimer: I have no association with this endeavour. I'm merely a displaced Southlander, who spotted this on the interweb

Nice 'low environmental impact' little dwelling. I like the coarse-textured 'strand board' interior walls. Some exterior weather-cover (eg over doors) would be good. Of course, before making any booking, we'd want to know the source options for the Quad 34 - aside from phono & line, ie. a turntable? aptX bluetooth receiver? Mini-jack for phone/DAP? etc

That looks like an amazing place to hide.

Im not so sure about the speaker being so close to the fire ? Or shoved up so close to the wall and cabinets. Martin Logan's need room to breathe!

They would be breathing fire in that location....

Aren't 'stats better off in lower humidity? - A wood fire should help in that regard at least, way down there.

Lovely! (Missing NZ) But before booking it I’d need to sign something first for immunity from damage to the ML right next to the fireplace on a cold day. Bluetooth receiver with aptX and Ldac....Zen Blue 😉

Just how isolated is it ? Limited internet - no Youtoobs ! But plenty of power ? Quad 405 + Martin Logans are not a great match. And nowhere to park the Porsche

And nowhere to park the Porsche Not sure how isolated that property is but the small settlement is easily reached although when I took the MX5 there for a tiki tour in January I had to turn back early. The road was incredibly rutted and rippled just about shaking the Mazda to bits. Was down to 5km on the crawl back to the sealed road. There are several areas around coastal Southland where internet/4G connection is ropey or non existent. Even the Teretonga motor circuit very close to town can be hit and miss.

No use to you Cooks... easier for you to venture onto your favourite Oreti Beach in person, rather than looking at it from afar from this Omaui hideaway
