I see Stuff has followed up on my suggestion , somehow facetious keeps cropping up in my head , tracked down the real hotel and Keith Austin has written an article about it opening.
www.stuff.co.nz... . Click the link to the article ..
I know 450 to 700 mill might be beyond the ILT budget for this but perhaps if i started drinking again that might help.. ?
Amazing hotel so please take a minute ( or two ) to read the article and any donations so I can go and stay there a night or three will be gratefully received.

Since its closure, there have been plenty ideas passed around on what to do with the premises. What would you like to see happen with Anderson House?

True Detective S3 E4 tonight.

John from East Invercargill

True Detective S3 is turning out to be every bit as good as season 1 which starred Matthew McConaughey, & Woody Harrelson.
Nic Pizzolatto sure knows how to spin a story and along with the cinematography probably makes this the best viewing on TV at the moment.

Mahershala Ali and British actress Carmen Ejogo along with the rest of the cast are well worth the close watch not to miss the subtle clues on offer. Plenty of suspects but I am not saying who I suspect so as not to spoil it for anyone else. For those not watching " the butler did it " is not an option.
