Fantastic Rotorua Stay :)

This apartment was superb! It was great to be so close to town especially on Thursday when we wandered up to the night markets which were amazing but this place is situated in a good location to go in various directions to main attractions like the luge and the night mini golf - both I highly recommend! Sandra was nothing but fantastic to deal with and her instructions, advice and availability should we have needed it were great. I would definitely stay here again :)

We spent two nights at Sandra’s apartment in central Rotorua.

We spent two nights at Sandra’s apartment in central Rotorua. It is in an amazing central location and was a perfect base from which to explore Rotorua. The apartment really does have a ‘bachy’ feel. It is clean and tidy - you do need to bring your own linen. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the Bach in the City and would recommend it to others. We would definitely use it again if we are ever back in Rotorua as it had everything we needed and was in a great location. Sandra was a pleasure to deal with.

The central location of the place right in the middle of Rotorua really enhanced our stay. You could walk to the shops, restaurants, hot pools, government gardens etc. We stayed during Winter time and the place was extremely cosy and comfortable, also quite spacious for a two bedroom place. Very workable for family of four with two children. Would definitely consider staying here again well worth the money.

Great little apartment right in the central city, we'd definitely stay again.

Great little apartment right in the central city, we'd definitely stay again. Although some of the décor was a bit tired (apparently they are going to do it up soon), it didn't matter as the apartment was light-filled and warm and had fun and bright accessories. :)

Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. The location is excellent- great for us as we did Rotorua without a car. 2min walk to the information centre, city shops and bus stops, 1min to government gardens and Tamaki pick up point, 5 min to supermarkets. It might not be 5 star but it's got a character all of its own and is well kitted out for everything you might need. We bumped into Sandra as we arrived and she was lovely.
