Kaths place is centrally located for all the Hawkes Bay has to offer. It's cosy, has everything you need for your stay, including a washing machine and dryer and is spacious with a lovely big shower. It was convenient to have parking right outside the bedroom and the flexibility to host extra guests on the foldout couch if needed. If you're lucky you'll get a visit from Millie their beautiful retriever and (cutie) Pie the puppy. We only saw them once over our 2 night stay so if dogs aren't your thing you're deck area is fully fenced, with the dogs on the the outside. Kath was very considerate with responsive communication. She was thoughtful enough to ask what bread we'd prefer and checked several times that we were warm enough, which we were. Kath also warns you of the possibility of their non-verbal autistic son having screaming episodes, fortunately we didn't experience one but it was nice to have the heads up
