Off the grid! Solar is the way to go - especially if it's meant to be in Aussie. Agree about the plumbing though. That was one of the things raised about that movie The Lake House too.

Wow, I'd rent that for a holiday. Wouldn't have so much appeal in Winter but would be heavenly in Summer.
In Swedish Lapland. I'd love to stay somewhere like that, it's beautiful. Plus I'm pretty much obsessed with anything and everything Scandinavian.
