We only stayed for one night as a stop over to break up our drive to Te Anau. Gore is a lovely town to stop over its got most of the major supermarkets and restaurants chains so its a good base to have everything you need for a stop as most very small towns in New Zealand are limited in what shops/restaurants they have.
Kates place is very spacious in the living area, the kitchen space was brilliant for cooking a homemade meal. Lots of space in the bedroom too and a big wardrobe which you dont often see! Note that you have to go through the big main garage door to get into the property so theres no normal door to get inside. The decor and feel inside the property is very retro. The appliance’s and Tv are outdated but it didn’t really bother us just for one night.
Overall id recommended, kate is very kind and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed
