Absolutely the best stay ever!
Kim's cottage is located on a lifestyle block with a magnificent view, you can see the rolling hills and overlook the Otamatea river, we watched the sunset while enjoying a cup of tea on the patio, and made friends with Kim's dog Finny, fed Hazel and Jerry (Kim's goat and sheep), kiki the cat is bit shy, but we managed to say hello.
The house is a 1920's villa with multiple improvements and a lot of history behind it, the room is clean and cozy, we had a comfortable sleep at night, and Kim prepared a hearty breakfast for us and let us take some delicious homemade muffins for the morning tea.
Kim is such a friendly host and very considerate, she has so much knowledge about geography, culture and art, we had a long chat about the local history and she told us lots of helpful knowledge about the Northland area. and we are surprised by her photos and jewellery.
I would definitely recommend the Kahu Retreat not only as a B&B but also as a travel destination, I can see there are plenty of things to do in the local area, and we will definitely come back again!
