Kim's place was absolutely perfect.
Beautiful places to Walk/run: Te Whara Track (10km long: takes about 4 hours, 5 minute drive away) and Mount Manaia (4km: 1-2 hours, walk straight from the accommodation).
Bit of an adventure: we woke one day and got a message from Kim telling us the water was perfect for a kayak. 20 minutes later we were kayaking round the bay past islands and stopping at secluded beaches. Great wee trip.
Comfortable place to relax with fizzy wine: the inside of the accommodation is great. Everything you need to sleep/clean/cook/watch telly/browse internet. But it is the outside space which takes the crown. The hot tub had views of Mt Manaia. There was also a sauna, an outdoor (hot) shower, a seating area and a beautiful stream running through the middle of it.
Kim is a fantastic host. He is responsible, proactive, very interesting to chat to, excited to hear about your plans and help provide ideas.
3 nights wasn't enough. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Kim
