My Mum and I stayed one night while visiting family in the north. In a paddock nearby are friendly goats and two curious cows. A definite highlight! The house was immaculate and very homely. It was a stormy, wintry night when we stayed, if staying in winter take your slippers! Two bedrooms have curtains rather than doors, it's a quirky home with a fascinating history. Katherine was kind and welcoming, we appreciated her kiwi hospitality and were not surprised to establish mutual connections :-)
