Low R44

I live in Dunedin,New Zealand. Sitting in my lounge last night watching the rugby replay, I think to myself, here comes a helicopter
Then I think gee that sound's close
So tearing my self away from the rugby I spin my recliner to look out the window. Now when I looked out the window, and I mean straight out the window, remember this is my flipping lounge here, I see a brown R44 with a couple of guys in it about 150ft AGL if that flying up the road below me.
I could clearly see these fellas and thought to myself WTF!!They flew directly over houses etc. Just didnt seem right.
Just wondering if anyone here might know how to get away with that sort of thing. No they weren't taking off or landing. The heliport is about 1Nm away and I'm Not anywhere near a flight path in or out.
I never even thought to get the rego I was so surprised.

Comments or suggestions?

Cheers
