Tranquil, comfortable house. Good proximity to shops and amenities. Generously stocked with tea, coffee, clean towels and toiletries. Thoughtfully furnished for a home-away-from home stopover.
This host has created a beautiful inviting home. We slept in comfortable beds, enjoyed the living, dining and cooking spaces, and looked forward to returning at the end of active days visiting different activities around Rotorua. The location is in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to town and some walkable shops like a neighborhood bakery. We highly recommend this stay.
Love this place central to everywhere we wanted peace and quiet and got it in abundance very spacious will recommend to anyone about this place well worth its value thank you very much will definitely come back to this booking if we come back to Rotorua thank you very much
This was an incredible stay. Close to the great tourist attraction that we wanted to see. Perfect kitchen and appliances for a family with food intolerances to cook for themselves. Loved this place
Very clean, easy to find, quiet area, very comfortable. Lovely warm house with all amenities. More than met our needs. Will be staying there again. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay over Easter in this Rotorua home. The house was clean, uncluttered, and felt very welcoming. It was nice and warm, which made it extra comfortable during the cooler evenings. The location was fantastic — close to everything we needed while still being peaceful. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to others!
Coming from WA with my kids to see family, this was the perfect place for us to stay and spend time. Location was really central to where and what we wanted to do.
I would and will truly recommend people to stay at this house. I hope to come back as well with my whole family.
Thank you
We enjoyed our stay in this Rotorua rental. It is in a quiet neighborhood and close drive to the shops. The house was clean and had everything you would need on a vacation. The third bedroom in the back was a bit cold being near a bathroom with an open vented window, as we were staying when it was still cold in the season. There was a door that closed off that area so the rest of the house did stay warm. We definitely enjoyed our stay though and would recommend to others looking for a relaxing spot for their Rotorua holiday!

Great to hear you had a good stay Ann. It was quite cold when you stayed so I'm pleased to hear the house was warm and toasty for you. Jason
We really enjoyed our stay. It was extremely convenient to all the site in Rotorua and surrounding areas as well as close to food and coffee. The house is light and bright with big windows and some great original charm.
Clean and comfortable. Quiet spot in a nice area.
Only one suggestion, a heat pump would be useful more for cool air during summer.
Definitely recommended.

Thanks for your feedback Trish. Such great guests and we'd love to have you guys stay again. The house does have an amazing central heating and cooling system with a control panel on the wall in the dining room. Be sure to put it on the cooling mode during the summer months and that will cool the house down nicely. See you next time you're in Rotorua :-)
