This was a beautifully furnished large en-suite room and very reasonably priced. Plus there is the added bonus of having access to the rest of the downstairs so it felt more like an apartment! Everything was so sparkling clean. The views from the bedroom window were superb across the lake and to the mountains in the Tongariro National Park. The location was quiet and just a 5 minute walk to the lake. The house for me personally (being a 'Brit') was a little piece of England and I felt like I was staying in a grand Tudor house in the Shakespearean town of Stratford-Upon-Avon!
Kathy was a lovely host - very welcoming and friendly and I was rather smitten with dear Digby dog who was a friendly character!
I couldn't have asked for anything more - it was all there!

I highly recommend Kathy's lovely cosy place as you will have found yourself a real gem! :)
