Perfect location for mountain bikers with a trailhead literally right around the corner. They have bike wash hose and storage shed at the back of the property. Hosts were very responsive but unobtrusive.
Had everything we needed in a great location, really tidy, pleasant space. Kind and welcoming host. Appreciated the extra touches, like having salt, pepper, salad dressing and even fresh fruit on arrival. Only thing is I’d recommend for a shorter stay or if you’re planning to mostly eat out (which we did), as the kitchen is tiny.
Great location for redwoods mtb riding.Clean & nicely styled & great shower.Room configuration doesn't quite match the listing but we made use of the fold out couch which worked okay.Lovely, friendly hosts. Would recommend & would stay again.
This is an amazing spot and a beautiful property to be your home away from home. It was nice and cosy for our family of 4 and we loved the proximity to the Redwoods. We will definitely be back 😊
Very unique value proposition. Very well presented with great access to all things Rotorua has to offer. Very responsive host!

Hi Ah, thank you for the stay. I hope the ride went well in the forest and it wasn't too muddy after the rain. We would love to host you again in the future when passing through.

Perfect location! Very responsive hosts! All you need to have fun and be cozy in Rotorua!! We had 4 adults and had plenty of room. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!
We have been traveling and jumping around for a few weeks and this property looks even more welcoming in person than in the photos. Bright, cheery and had everything we needed. Great hosts and a great location!

About the host
Hosted by Anu Weir
We are a family of 5 with my wife originating in Finland and myself from Central Otago. We have 3 boys (10, 8 and 2), a dog (Boston - recently adopted super laid-back and non barking puppy) and a cat (Coco).
We own a tourism business and love to meet new people and show them what a wonderful place Rotorua and NZ is to visit.
Why they chose this property
From the moment we stepped into our house, we could see the potential. We both love industrial 'New York loft' design and could see the many possibilities we had when converting the old garage into an open plan living room/kitchen/dining. The section is nice and secure and private for our small and busy family. We love the safe and quiet neighborhood. And lastly, location of the house couldn't be better for us. Redwoods forest which is only 100 metres away is one of our favourite spots to visit and we do this daily. Rotorua city centre and five stunning lakes (+ majestic Mt Tarawera) are also only a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is new and decorated to the style that we like which is industrial and modern. The apartment is fully insulated and it has a big radiator heater to keep guests warm during colder winter months. The location of this apartment is so well positioned close to the Redwoods, town and lakes.
