Kate is a great host, she was easy to deal with and really responsive.
The batch was absolutely stunning. For a young family, it had everything we needed and more - toys, beach equipment, spa, cable TV, wifi, bluetooth speaker, coffee machine, washing machine, dryer. The sleep out (with its own bathroom, fridge and tea/coffee corner) was great for the grandparents, as it gave them their own space.
The location of the batch is also great, being 2 mins walk from the beach, and close to Matakana and Leigh.
Definitely recommend a stay at Kate's batch, as we will be back ourselves.
