Kathryn’s home is just as described and very welcoming. It’s a nice home away from home. The bed was comfortable with an electric blanket for the cold night. Kathryn provided amazing tips on what to see in the area and was even kind enough to talk to me a little about the culture and history of Rotorua. She’s very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend! Her place is also only about a 5-6 minute drive from shops and restaurants.
