About this property

Central Kuirau Cottage with park views

This quirky 1930's cottage looks directly across to the open fields of Kuirau Park. Kuirau Park offers free Geothermal Attractions, thermal foot baths, beautiful gardens, childrens playground, open playing fields and is bordered by the Rotorua Aquatic Centre. The park is host to a busy Saturday morning local market. Plenty to enjoy here.

A short walk takes you to the City Centre, 'Eat Streat', shopping, restaurants, cafes, cinema and the lake front.

The cottage is tastefully furnished throughout and has the quirks and charms of an older building (creaking, sloping floors and all). The two good-sized bedrooms each boast Queen beds and the second bedroom provides a sofa bed for extra guests, a port-a-cot is stored on site.
The sunny living room is equipped with a smart TV, every room has its own heater to take the chill off any frosty mornings and fans to cool you down when the temperature rises.
The kitchen has a full sized stove/oven. Coffee, tea and some basic pantry items are provided

Special conditions:
There is a 2 night minimum stay - however if you wish to book for 1 night only a $25 fee will be added.

Our Rate per night is for up to 4 people, the cottage can sleep a maximum of 5 with the extra cost of $20 per person/per night (child under 12mths - no charge)

There is NO LAUNDRY on site but there are 2 Laundromats close by.
Off street parking for 1 vehicle with free street parking right out front

During the week a car grooming business operates from the workshop behind the house from 8.30am - 4.30pm. This creates no disturbance to the house but means the driveway beside the building needs to be kept clear during the hours of operation. The business is usually closed on week ends

EXTRAS:
Cleaning Fee NZ$65.00 per stay will be added; You will receive a payment request for this but we will give you the option to self clean. The cottage has all the products required. Let us know if you would like this option and we will remove the fee.

Linen charge will be added at NZ$45per stay for up to 4ppl plus an extra $10 if more guests are staying: We will send a payment request for linen but you can opt to supply your own sheets, pillowcases and towels - please confirm with us.
Extra Guests (max 2 extra guests) ( NZ$20.00 per person/ night)

Awesome Location. Quirky, Quaint and Cosy Cottage

Loved the location, close to the Saturday markets and thermal attractions at the park. The cottage was just so lovely and homely. It reminded us of visiting old aunts and uncles at kids so we instantly felt at home walking in. The place feels like it's old school retro style home but modern updates too. It was warm, no drafts, a very comfy bed, a modern bathroom and fibre internet.

Great place to stay for a week in Rotorua

We were in town for a big trade show and needed a small house close to events centre and hospitality venues for a week. This was perfect. 2 bedrooms meant my colleagues were able to have their own space for sleeping. The shared areas were comfortable.This cottage is located directly opposite a lovely geothermal park and then down onto the lake foreshore, and only 15 mins walk to the main town. We stayed in Rotorua without a car and we had no issues getting around.A very lovely place to stay and recommended!

Rotorua stay

We had a great stay here. Fantastic location and room enough for a family. Only thing I would have loved was a small washing machine, but laundromat not far away.

Cottage

House is about to fall in a sinkhole , it’s leaning towards one end of the house, and the owner expects the guests to clean the place like if we were a cleaning crew . We just slept and showered , were afraid to use any appliances or anything and get charged for it . Spent many nights all over NZ , and nobody made us or charged us for cleaning and washing the linens like she did . No one has the kiwi tradition that she claims to have . Very happy when we left that place .

We were both born the the Bay of Plenty but as children our families shifted away.
In the mid 1980's as newly weds we moved to Rotorua. All our children were born & raised here so as a family we have enjoyed the lakes, forest, outdoor activities and many events that this great little city has to offer
