Chris is an amazing host. He is a very warmhearted and kind man. One of the highlights was that he let us feet his sheep and his goat. We loved our stay!

they were a lovely group, and I enjoyed having them here, and they would be welcome again.
It was a great pity that Vrbo did not inform me I had customers, it would have been good if they had their act together.

Chris was great. Super hospitable even when the booking hadn’t come through from the day before and he was unprepared for our visit. He welcomed us into his almost perfect house.

They were such a lovely group, I just wish they had more time to explore Rotorua, I gave them a few ideas, but they did their planning and enjoyed what was to see.
Chris is friendly, with good clear communication; no issues, I'd happily book with him again.

It was lovely having Aidan here I gave them pointers as to where to go in and around Rotorua, but their time was very limited, two days is never enough time to see all the sights Rotorua has to offer. I only rent out rooms, but my guests have all the amenities available in my house at their disposal.
Property was lovely.Listing needs to made clearer that you will be sharing the property with the owner and his cat.Owner was very pleasant, very informative with things to see and do.Enjoyed our stay Enjoyed our stay
A beautiful, quiet property with stunning views from the dining area and porch. It was a great place to spend time and go visit the wonderful places around Rotorua. It was good to meet the on-site host, Chris, and his sweet cat.

It was lovely having Ayla's group here, and we had a few laughs with both Brians, and we enjoyed some lovely scones that Brain made. I hope they were able to cram some of the Rotorua delights in.
Chris was a lovely on-site host. Great communication. Clean, quiet and comfortable house. Lovely rural views from deck. Would recommend.

Corina and her party were such lovely people, I tried to help them to find and go to and see the best that Rotorua has to offer and do the best that I can as a host.
Lovely place, quiet. While Chris is very accommodating and a lovely older gentleman, what the ad doesn't say is that you are staying in his house with him. If that doesn't worry you, then his place is a very nice place to stay, warm comfortable, with easy access.

They are a lovely couple, and it was a pleasure to have them as my guests.
had an event on close, and stayed here as it was very affordable for three people for a week. You will be sharing the house with the owner and his cat jasper. Very amenable, we had to send kids first, then we also had to leave early and was no hassles.Main bed is on the firm side, with a huge ensuite and fridge.The second room is also large with a medium bed.
