Kath has a great home and is a terrific host! As others have said, she also has a fantastic garden where you can sit outside and view the beautiful sunsets. Her home is very close to the airport, which was perfect for us because our intention was to explore both Nelson and Richmond, so everything was only a short drive or bike ride away. You can also walk to the beach from the house for a swim.
Her home is spacious and very clean, and the kitchen has everything you would need for a short or long stay. The bed was very comfortable, and there is barely any noise from the planes or neighborhood (but if you are EXTREMELY sensitive, there are a few propeller planes that you'll hear in the morning, and if you bring ear plugs you'll be fine).
Thanks again Kath for a fantastic stay and the conversation! It allowed for the end of our trip to be super relaxed and easy!
