The short version
Nine questions, nine answers.
The rest of this site takes its time. This page does not. Every number here is measured, not estimated, and every tile goes straight to the page that carries the proof.
Everything, measured
53 places, and how long each one really takes.
The rings are drive time from our gate. Pick a category, or take hold of the dial and turn it.
Hover, tap or arrow through a point
Distance from the centre is measured drive time. The angle only separates the categories so the points do not sit on top of each other — it is not a compass bearing, and this is not a map. Times are dry season, daylight, fastest route on Google Maps from the property. A ≈ marks the few the survey could only bracket.

Where to go next
That is the short version. Each of these is the long one.
Distances are driving times measured from the property on Google Maps in the dry season, not straight-line distances. Cycling times are calculated from that same measured road distance at an easy 16 km/h, because Google has no cycling route for this stretch of coast. Where a number can change, this page reads it from the same source as the lot list, so the two cannot disagree.
