Kath’s place was just perfect for our family of five, spacious and light-filled and with everything we needed to self-cater and relax for five days. Kath was a fantastic host, very communicative and she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and to give us info about the local area. Poatina is an incredibly peaceful and scenic spot, and a great base for walking and driving explorations of the nearby highlands and Great Lakes areas. The Poatina general store and cafe were great local assets, with very helpful owners - and a special mention for the delicious steak and guinness pies at the cafe!
