On 23 May 2014 an historic homestead in Central Otago was burnt to the ground, apparently due to an electrical fault following a lightning strike. The homestead was at Paradise, beyond Queenstown, beyond Glenorchy, beyond the top of Lake Wakatipu, . It’s a fantastic place and lots of people go there to get away from it all. No mobile coverage, no tech toys. Just nature at its best amongst the mountains.
