Kathy's home and hospitality were top notch! Although it was our last day in NZ, her place would be the perfect spot to stay upon arriving as well. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked (milk, beer, cereal, chocolates), the beds are comfortable, and the living space is relaxing. When Kathy heard we were traveling with our young children, she asked their ages and brought over age-appropriate toys and books for them to play with. The house is just a short walk to a small nature park that also has a children's playground. Kathy was quick and thoughtful in her communications, and we felt incredibly well cared for.
