We had a wonderful stay in Kakahi, it is nice to get off the beaten track and discover some untouched places. The house is an old gem but is nice and warm with the fire and heat pump. Our kids (4y and 1y) had a great time exploring all the nooks and crannies. Maxine and Mike are excellent hosts, the fire and heat pump were going when we arrived so it was lovely to come in to a warm house. The train track does run right next to the house and can be a bit noisy as they go past in the night. The beds are lovely and comfortable and the house had everything we needed for an excellent stay.
