Katharine's place is beautifully decorated. It was very clean and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed the use of the private patio for a late afternoon glass of wine. Katharine and her husband were very welcoming and provided many tips on restaurants, wineries and local sights. They were very quick to respond to our questions. Their property is centrally located in the Hawkes Bay Area and everything we wanted to see and do was within a 30 min drive. We would gladly stay with Katharine again!
