The "Rosebowl" (named after the owners of the property on which the ground lies) is located about 5 minutes up the Paekakariki Hill Road from the small town of Pauatahanui, near Wellington, New Zealand. 

The ground is significantly smaller than a normal cricket field - somewhat of a square shape. Since batsmen only face at one end (unlike traditional forms of cricket where the ends the batsmen face alternate every over), the straight boundary is significantly longer than those immediately to the batsmans' left and right.

The length of the batting wicket is that of international dimensions, and is mown with a petrol lawnmower. The wicket has been known to "have a bit in it", with slope and imperfections in the ground par for the course. 
When epic cricketing contests are not taking place on the Rosebowl, it is used as a sheep paddock. The sheep keep the grass from getting out of control, but are kept out of the ground for at least a week before play commences to allow their poo to disperse, and the outfield is mown with a ride-on lawnmower.

The Rosebowl is very picturesque. The entire ground is in the shadow of a large hill located directly in front of a batsman on strike as he faces the bowling. The hill can be climbed by the batting team members and spectators for a great view of the play. To the striking batsman's left there are a row of tall trees, and at the long-off boundary is a large willow tree. Behind the batsman is a ditch and acts as the fine-leg/third man boundary. All other boundaries are marked by the sheep fence which encircles the ground.

Directly behind the stumps at the strikers end is an "automatic wicketkeeper" made of corrugated iron and an old gate. This stops the ball if the batsman elects to leave, and if the batsman "snicks" the ball and the ball then carries to hit the board in certain areas, the batsman can be dismissed.

The ball can get lost from time to time at the Rosebowl, particularly if it travels beyond the straight boundary, as at the bottom of the hill are clumps of long reeds. Batsmen are instructed to watch where the ball lands after they have hit a six - otherwise the game has to stop for as long as it takes to find the ball (or stumble across a ball which was given up for lost the last time there was a match!).

Rather famously, the ground was once mistaken for the Rosebowl in England - the home of county cricket in Hampshire. As a result, the above information (complete with references to auto-wicketkeeper board, batsmen facing at only one end, and the ground being used as a sheep paddock in the off-season) made it onto a rather official looking cricket website!
