Awesome little cottage with the personal touch

Greeted at the door and shown around our accommodation. So many personal touches make it a home away from home.

Highly recommend this lovely property

We felt instantly at home in this lovely place. The place is modern, super super clean, and comfortable. It has a big kitchen and living room where we were able to do some work related computer work a bit. The host went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She had milk and eggs in the house for our first breakfast. It's in a quiet neighborhood. If I return to Rotorua, I am definitely staying at her place again.

This property lives up to its name - it really is cozy. It's got all the amenities you'd expect from a holiday home. We appreciated the wee gifts that were left for us upon our arrival. The bedrooms are generous in size. There are two bathrooms - one includes the toilet, and it has been beautifully upgraded. The other has a great washer/dryer set up - oh and a spa bath! The surroundings are wonderful. The shops are close by, as is the lake for walks to feed the swans. We'll definitely be back.

It was lovely to be greeted by Beatrice on our arrival. The little gifts left for us were very much appreciated. The kitchen facilities were superb. The location was quiet and peaceful but still only a short drive from Rotorua and attractions like the Redwood tree walk. A very pleasant stay.

Peaceful, perfect home base

Rita’s cottage far exceeded expectations. Peaceful, spotless, well furnished with all the comforts of home. Set well back from the main road in a gated cluster of homes, it was the perfect location for seeing all the sights that the Rotorua has to offer. Beatrice is lovely to deal with, always prompt in responding. She was on site to welcome us with lovely gifts of homemade jelly, honey, soap, chocolates. We would 100% stay at Rita’s cottage again!

Can I rate this place more than 5 stars!

We loved staying here for 9nights, it was both close and far enough from Rotorua. A very well maintained, neat and tidy place with a real country feel.The host were so lovely to share their produce and trust their visitors to take care of their place. It is very well equipped with all the luxuries of home and more. Thank you Beatrice for your hospitality.

Lovely little property

The 2 bedroom bach was perfect for me, my wife and a 2yo. We were greeted by the host on arrival and found they had left some of their own eggs and honey as a welcome gift! The property was lovely, clean and was well kitted out with everything you could need, the hosts really have thought of everything. I would highly recommend this property. Thank you
