About the host

Kia ora!

I'm Nicola. My husband and I are Rotorua locals who love sharing the beauty of our backyard with visitors. As a family that lives for the outdoors, we spend our time exploring Rotorua's stunning lakes and forests.

Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming space that feels like your home away from home. Whether you're here to relax, adventure, or connect with the local culture, we're here to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

Why they chose this property

We love being so close to the Waipa entrance of Whakarewarewa forest. You can bike Hemo Gorge trail to get there in just 10 minutes. There's loads of trails for walking, running, or mountain biking - not to mention a little place called Secret Spot, home to a shiny dip and coffee or beer when you are all adventured out.

Springfield is a lovely neighbourhood - the local school has epic playgrounds and a sandpit that it is available to the community outside of school hours. The local (and we mean local like a 100m away) bakery does a pretty delicious cinnamon scroll, or pie, and the local dairy recently started serving scoop ice cream! In our humble opinion, Devon Street Fish and Chips is the best fish and chips in town and is only a 2 minute drive - but be sure to order 45 minutes ahead of time.

Everywhere is close in Rotorua but it's a short 5 minute drive to town if you want to head out for dining, or check out the waterfront and it's epic playground for kids.

What makes this property unique

It's the indoor-outdoor flow for us. There are huge sliding doors that open out onto a deck, perfect for enjoying summer and spring days. Plus a separate lockable garage to store toys with a few bike tools to make maintenance easy.
