Kathryn's place was really nice, and Kathryn and her partner were communicative and helpful. Clearly, a lot of care is taken when they are hosting - e.g. we really appeciated the thoughtfulness of having kids and adults towels, the block of chocolate, the well-stocked cupboards with pantry items and a variety of cookware and utensils, the books and boardgames - these things all made for a fabulous, homey place to stay amongst the peaceful rimu and tanekaha forest. Highly recommend. Thanks a million for a great time in Paihia :)
