Kate went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. She provides a map of the area with local hikes and tips for local restaurants. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious. It's fully equipped with a water boiler to make coffee, portable heater, and even a bathrobe! She let me use her washer/dryer, which was much needed after so many days of traveling. It's located right by the lake so it's very scenic. Be sure to make time to explore the area. Only a 4 min drive to the local restaurants and about 20 min drive to Wanaka. Her son, Naish, is so well behaved and her dog/kitten are both very cute and cuddly. I only wish I had stayed longer at her place.
