I booked at Kathy's place for me and my workmate for a 2 night stop on our trip over the north island after a work trip in Australia. Kathy was very welcoming and has a lovely home. She offered us in advance her couch as me and my workmate didn't want to share her very comfortable bed. Kathy's place is located centrally and close to restaurants and a convenience store. Great spot if you want to explore Coromandel area (Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove, etc.) - make sure to check out the close Paku summit (great view over the area, especially on sunset). Kathy offered us a great breakfast with coffee, tea, toast jam/marmalade, cereals, yoghurt and fruits (including very tasty home-grown passion fruits). Kathy has lovely pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) as an info for those with allergies. Kathy was very communicative and provided us with tips for our travelling plans. For our short stay we were allowed to park our car in her driveway which was very convenient. There is no Wifi but Kathy offered us to create a hotspot with her phone - but wasn't necessary for us as we had our own local SIM cards with a data plan. Sure would stay again at her place!
