Kate's place is a favorite place for us. we love it. its always clean and it's so convenient. it's extremely quiet and peaceful. it's got everything you need for a restful stay. good kitchen and bathroom facilities. Wonderfully located of the main highway but close enough to greymouth and hokitika and a great place to break your travel up if your going further afield. it's also perfect for starting your journey on the wilderness bike trail. Can't recommend it highly enough.
