Kaitawa Farm is a homey place in a secluded area just off Highway 1 near Otaki. The living space itself is compact but well-thought out. The beds are VERY comfortable. There's enough in the kitchen to allow you to cook a decent meal. Kate can also provide a loaf of delicious freshly baked bread and homemade jam in the morning, plus the fresh eggs they get from the chickens. The kids had a good time feeding the animals in the morning. We would've gone down to the swimming hole during the sole day that the weather was great during our stay, but that was also the day we had to leave.
