We had a three nights at Glendyr and Mike’s place in Rototua. Definitely an excellent experience. The geothermal activity is great, but it stinks of SO2. This location has no smell, it is right on the lake and the pool, and hot tub overlook the lake. Thanks to Glendyr, we opted for Waikite Valley Thermal spa (no smell); also go to J’s seafood for the mixed seafood takeout. Great hosts, roomy 2 bedroom with full kitchen and family room, very comfortable beds.
