Although we didn't get to meet Catherine, we met the rest of her family and their adorable dog when we first got to their place. Everything was super easy to organise and Catherine was really quick to reply to anything we messaged her about. The little granny flat we stayed in was absolutely fantastic. So clean and private, all of the amenities we could possibly need (we cooked on the first night and the kitchen was stocked with all of the basic supplies) and a very comfortable size for 3 people. Our friend stayed on the sofa bed and says it was really comfortable with the extra mattress that was provided. All in all it was a really wonderful place to stay and I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Victorua. :)
