Choose fiber (Single Mode) with direct bury cable—armored, no conduit needed. 250m with four fibers, both ends using LC connectors, priced around $600 as a one-time buy. Alternatively, opt for wireless P2P equipment; a decent package costs $200–300. Fiber offers superior performance long-term but requires SFP-compatible gear. Wireless could simplify things if bandwidth needs are low.

I use Engenius long range wifi which is designed for several miles. With my setup, I can cover about 300 meters easily. It’s a great value for around a few hundred dollars—no need to run cables.

Because you're also in NZ, I'd look into a wireless setup using an Ubiquiti kit like NanoBeams operating at 5.4Ghz with minimal power needs. You'll easily achieve hundreds of megabits. If you're thinking about this, reach out to gowifi.co.nz for a tailored plan and they can connect you with a local installer if you prefer not to handle the hardware yourself. For concerns about external radio interference, placing nanostations behind glass or windows is a good idea. I'd avoid a full 200M Ethernet run but have successfully used switches at the 100M level with affordable Mikrotik units. We've also managed power delivery without it by routing POE from one end to the other.
