Kate's place is an idyllic getaway. The porch is as stunning as the photos. The house is clean, private, and full of nice touches, such as muesli and fresh sourdough for breakfast and additional blankets for cold nights. Their golden retriever, Bella, wants to be your best friend. This location is close to Hobbiton (30 minute drive) and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves (1 hour drive). This was one of my wife's and my favorite stays.
