We had a lovely stay at Catalina 3 over a five night period. Aside from the spectacular views and convenient location (short walk downhill to town, a steep walk back), we loved having a warm and welcoming home to base our holidays. Each bedroom was setup with King bedding (they can accommodate singles too), with quality beds and linens. Bathrooms are all practical with rain showers and heated floors. The main level included comfortable lounges, rugs, awesome gas-powered fireplace, and dining area. The kitchen was first-rate with quality appliances, plenty of cookware/crockery/glassware etc. The LPG BBQ on the deck was also a nice way to cook a meal and watch sunset over the lake and mountains. There's a single car garage to secure your car as well, with internal access to the elevator and apartment. Some reviews commented on WiFi speed - we found it to be on par with typical ADSL connections in NZ (but comparatively slow to many cities) but the WiFi router is on the upper level so best in the lounge/dining area and downstairs connectivity is patchy at best. I hope the owners connect to Ultrafast Broadband when it's available.

Pauline was very responsive to our enquiries before arriving. We had no need to contact her during the stay but believe she would have been just a short phone call away. We're definitely AirBNB converts and would have no hesitation in booking again with Pauline.
