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.

Comforts of a home and close to everything!

Loved our stay here! We enjoyed having the comforts of a home during our travels. The unit is attached to the host’s house, but is very private with your own entry. Even so, the host Anu is lovely, so no worries at all. All of the Rotorua attractions are within a 10 minutes drive and the Redwoods and some restaurants are in walking distance. Cozy spot in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a couples or family getaway :)

Lovely house

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. We were a little shocked at the advertised dryer being a clothes line. However it did not impede our stay. House was lovely overall and we would come back.

Excellent spot.

Awesome place to stay; quiet yet in close proximity to Redwoods and town. Probably better suited to 4 rather than 5 people unless some are very small.
