Kathryn was such a warm host and her newly opened, proper B&B-style home was beyond beautiful. When I arrived in the dark, she told me the property was magic, and in the morning, I could see that was no overstatement.
She'd placed fresh flowers throughout the house, actually *pressed* the bed sheets, which were soft and perfectly white, and topped them with absolute sumptuous bedding.
Her gardens, grounds and house were immaculate, the view was to die for and having her dog, Asher, pad around after me now and again brought me pure joy.
Kathryn baked a stunning rhubarb coconut cake to share and her homemade muesli was divine.
A vibrant yet peaceful, lively yet cozy place, I’m so happy to have found it. Highly recommend a stay, though you might need to book while it’s still an yet-uncovered gem.
The house is perfectly between Hamilton and Raglan, approx. 40 min to each, but is a destination all on its own.
Thanks for a stunning, magical stay, Kathryn. I can’t wait to visit again x
