The house has plenty of space and areas for family members to spread out; large lounge, conservatory, covered deck, and lawn. There were no basic food supplies in the kitchen, eg salt and pepper, oil, tea, coffee, so bring your own. Kāwhia was very hot when we visited, and so was the house, especially the bedrooms in the evening as there are no fans or air conditioning. Lots of mosquitoes bites. Excellent communication from Patsy. Very friendly locals in Kāwhia.
