About the host
Hosted by Kathryn Starr
My family have lived on this land for several generations. I am an educator, and live on the property in my own house, built about eight years ago.
Why they chose this property
This property has been with our family for several generations.
What makes this property unique
Motupipi is known to our extended family and friends as a place of relaxation and peace. There is time here to sit and have a cup of tea or coffee, relax, chat, and also time to go fishing swimming and exploring. Many people come here so they can see the beautiful Bay of Islands, and realise when they get here that they just want to stay here and soak in the beauty and peace of the place.
The bach is an old-style Kiwi bach, that has had some refurbishment recently to make it more comfortable. Come and enjoy it.
