Catherine and Graham's little studio was the perfect way to kick off my travels in New Zealand. I stayed for one week and used their place as a base to get set up for travelling the country. Everything about the studio was just as described in the profile--sunny, private, and easily accessible on foot, by car or bus. It was clean and comfortable with tasteful decor and homey touches.
What was unexpected was Catherine and Graham's warm hospitality, local knowledge, and generosity as I arrived in a new country on my own. They accommodated an early check in after a 14 hour flight, spent time chatting with me about local areas to visit, and introduced me to some of the native fauna and flora. Catherine invited me on several outings, and it was wonderful to feel included and cared for. Kiwi hospitality at its finest! I won't hesitate to look Catherine and Graham up if I find myself back in the area!
