The house was clean and well equipped. Lots of hot water and 2 heat pumps. Comfortable lounge and bedrooms. The only negative thing is the very steep and rutted drive but lots of space at the top for turning.
We had a lovely stay. Place was really clean and tidy, lots of supplies (tea, coffee, milk etc). Host was really responsive to any questions. Great stay!
A bit out of the main town but shop and takeaways close. Great view from front deck and nice size plot. Owner gave lots of helpful tips and easily located to access all the tourist spotsWonderful stay
We had such a great time away in Rotorua and staying in such a beautiful home made it extra special. The house was so clean and had everything we needed. The host, Yinguri, was so lovely. If we ever come back we will be staying here again.
We had an enjoyable stay. The host was very quick to respond when we have questions and was kind enough to send us information of activities, restaurants, shops and parks in the area to visit. The cottage was very clean and had everything that you need. I would definitely book this cottage again if I am in the area.
This little bach packs a punch - great views, great TV and Wifi, really clean and tidy with little extras in the kitchen. Comfy beds. Good spot to explore Rotorua from. Host very accommodating and great to deal with. Highly recommend.
Perfect Location but Noisy at Night – Solid Stay for Explorers
Great location—close to the Skyline and hot springs, very convenient! The place was clean and tidy, but the building is quite old. Being near the street with thin windows, nighttime noise can be a bit disruptive for light sleepers. Overall, a decent stay if you prioritize location over absolute quiet.

Liked: Amenities, communication
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Nice sized rooms and good facilities and utensils, however the place was a bit shoddy and looks far better in the photos than real life. Standards of cleaning were also not what I would expect. Imagine the house would be very cold in winter. Views were lovely. Walk to town in about 20/30 minutes.
We sincerely enjoyed the stay. Clean, comfortable with everything you need. Only one bathroom - shower & separate toilet - and not two bathrooms as advertised.
It was a neat, functional, and nice little place for our family. The host was always easy to communicate with.
During the bleak weather, it was nice and warm and snug!
This place has stunning views, very close to city center and lake. Has everything you need, milk sauces and spices too. Shampoo, body wash and new tooth brushes were provided. Would definitely recommend to all my family and friends
My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of the host. The house was well stocked. It is an easy 35 minute walk into town, and centrally located for driving to the many geothermal sites in the area. It is a good place for families with the extra bedrooms and games provided.
Perfect for 2 nights in Rotorua. Lots of extras we didn’t expect. A well stocked kitchen with condiments available. Beautiful view. Closed in back yard for dog or kids. Close to 4 square and takeaways. 5 mins to town
Thank you!
Perfect base of operations for Rotorua area a tivities
Communication was excellent, timely and informative. The cottage sits on a small hill over a side road leading into town. Great views, sunrises and breezes off the lake in a neighborhood setting. Small grocery store 100 ft away for all food essentials/breakfast, beer/wine etc. Kitchen very recently renovated with all new stove, dishwasher and fridge. Washer dryer work smoothly. Fresh paint inside and out keeps it bright. Den and master bedroom have AC splits. Two other bedrooms have windows and fans to pick up the breeze.Yingrui and her staff are easy to communicate with and willing to help out with questions, issues, etc. An excellent host!We would stay here again if we ever get back to NZMike L.
