I give Kathy 1000 stars! I give Piha 1000 more as well. This is the most special place 💕. It was above and beyond my best hopes.
I foolishly arrived without a car. ( Pro tip - you can Uber in, but you can't Uber out and the cab companies just never showed. Once I made Kathy aware of my situation and asked her for help she went miles and miles and miles above. The locals here did as well. ( Special shout out to Dace, Allan, and LeeAnn. ) I have never felt more at home. I did not want to leave. Though I had a killer itinerary in Aukland once I left, nothing held a candle to my experience with Kathy and my stay at Piha.
I was lucky to be there during new moon and got a spectacular view of the milky way. I could hear the ocean from the back patio. The view is so pure. Don't miss the art gallery next to Piha store. Dont miss the food at Piha store either. Murray was bomb tacos. Allan at the rsa made me the best fish and chips of my life hands down.
Kathy how can I ever thank you enough?
