I stayed in a few places lately but this homestay was the best so far!
Kathy is fantastic, very helpful, open minded, clever and smart, very well read and always there for a talk. Beside this she is an awesome cook (insider ;-)). The room is very compfy with a fabolous bed - you'll find everything you need. A fridge, TV and your ensuited bathroom makes it like a small flat for yourself. Located in a great area, close to the City. Looking down you see the Lake, looking up you see Mount Tauhara, looking over the Lake you see the Tongariro Nat. Park!
She has a lovely black Cat and the funniest Dog ever, called Digby who is my new friend by now!
I highly recommended Kathys place for everybody to stay for a few days or longer.
I will be definitely be back some day - 5***** accommodation!
