We didn't get a chance to meet Karen, but her partner Nigel was an absolute wizard of a host. He showed us around the space and even gave us a tour of the larger Koru property. The living space itself was more than enough for my brother and me, and it even came with one of my favorite little touches: a wood-burning stove!
The next morning, Nigel was kind enough to give us a historical overview of the area, as well as a little bit of a nature tour. If you like getting to know the people you stay with, look no further than Karen and Nigel's spot! I already can't wait to go back.
