It has four private bedrooms set off a central hallway, and the living areas flow out to the back patio, where you can unwind in the thermally heated spa pool. Like a true Rotorua home, it runs on natural thermal heating, keeping the house warm and toasty through winter and heating the spa pool year-round.

The Neighborhood:
Tilsley Inn sits right in the heart of Glenholme, a central, mostly-residential Rotorua neighbourhood that's handy to everything.

There's a garage and off-street parking.
Other Things to Note:
A nice thing to know: the house runs on Rotorua's natural thermal heating, so it stays warm through winter, and the spa pool out the back is thermally heated for year-round soaking. There's a second shower in the laundry and a second toilet in the garage, which are handy when you've got a bigger group. WiFi runs at around 56 Mbps - fine for browsing and streaming.

The house was a great location to the town center, and was perfect for the group I was traveling with. Was warm and had all the facilities we needed.Very spacious for a big family or group of friends.

Kathryn, wonderful that the space worked so well for your group - it's always great when everyone has room to spread out. The central location really does make it easy to explore Rotorua on foot.

Great property, plenty of space for bedrooms etc. Garden isn't much of a garden but there is a hot tub out there which is fab. Nice and clean. Kitchen did have quite a lot of ants but thats not exactly their fault, could have been the previous people staying there. Nice big TV and excellent communication from the host. Easy check in. House is definitely an older house but its warm and comfortable.

It was warm and cosy with the whole house being heated by the continuous hot water heaters around the house, even in the laundry and the garage. We had a pleasant stay
We had a great time staying at Tilsley Inn! Its really good to have a place where the whole family can stay together. We were close to all the activities in Rotorua and able to come back in between visiting different places to relax, cook, eat, have a spa and totally recharge. Excellent!
The house was great for a big group of us. Was close to everything we needed and nice and clean. Owners communicated with us with quick responses. Really good experience. The spa pool was divine.
Great stay for our mountain bike tripWe stayed here for a mountain biking weekend and it was perfect for what we needed. The house was clean, comfortable, and well set up, with plenty of space for all our gear. The dedicated garage for bike storage was a huge bonus, and having tools available made it easy to sort out any quick tweaks before hitting the trails.The beds were comfy after long days riding, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. Location was ideal — quiet, convenient, and close to the trails and town. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive, making the whole stay stress-free.Would definitely stay here again for our next trip. Highly recommend!
Myself, 2 Daughters, 5 Grandchildren on a short holiday to celebrate a special birthday, we loved the spa, 2 showers and 2 toilets,great with 8 people.Great place, had all we needed and all instructions were clear and straightforward. Nice Place.
Property clean with lots of beds and clean linens. Only one toilet and shower in the house, then there is one toilet in the garage and a shower in a separate laundry room (which we found when we were checking out). Well appointed kitchen and plenty of space for eating, sleeping, meeting.
