The hosts were lovely. They were very accommodating between the space and providing some food for a light breakfast. The space was cozy and very comfortable, and very close walking distance to most things.

Lovely host family, and beautiful two floor unit with all the amenities.For EVs, it's only 150m from larger chargenet charger, and the mall shops.... 4km from the Redwoods, 100m from an award winning fish and chips shop. A great place to stay, and Nala and Skye (pups) appreciated the stay as well... :) Such a great holiday and great venue to get to my daughter's wedding. Perfect week.Well recommended.

Perfect

This little apartment was perfect for my husband and I. It was a great location and central in town and all the activities we did. It was exactly what we were looking for. The water in the shower was very temperamental, but we assumed it is every where in the city since a Rotorua is on a geothermal grid. Great place to stay!

A rental more fitting for AirB&B

This is a apartment built into a home. The unit is older and has a number of bumps and bruises. A number of windows do not close fully and the lack of AC means you are fully susceptible to the volcanic gasses that infiltrate Rotorua. The lack of a TV or even a monitor is frustrating as well. It is about a mile walk into town from the unit and there are some restaurants nearby.
