Liked: Cleanliness
The house is very comfortable and well suited for access to all things Rotarua. They provided loads of towels and many sets of dishes, which was really convenient. The hot tub is super enjoyable, but it does take much longer to fill and heat than described. You also have to rig the plug with weights and a cloth to keep it from leaking out. But once it’s all up and running, it’s so lovely. The major downside was no internet the entire time we were there. WiFi was strong, but the internet was out. I had to use my phone as a hot spot for everything.

Long Weekend Biking Getaway

Great little house, perfectly located in central Rotorua. Walking distance to town and Eat Street but in a lovely quiet street. Comfy beds, awesome lounge and living area and good kitchen. Couldn’t get the spa going as it kept emptying itself but aside from that, this is an excellent place to stay with a garage for bikes if needed. Highly recommend

CENTRAL LOCATION

Our overall stay was pleasent. Best benefit was that it was close to central town and eateries. A park just around the corner was a welcome bonus. The hotpool was old and some of the pavers were really unstable which may pose a problem for older people but it was a lovely option to soak after a day mountainbiking. The rooms were smaller than they looked in photos, but were tidy and clean.

Lovely stay, there was something wrong with the cupboard under to cook top, which is the only reason this is not a full 5 star review. When I mentioned it to the property manager she was going to fix it after my stay. Property manager was amazing to deal with, her customer service was superb! Highly recommend.

We loved staying in this very comfortable house. Spacious, clean, comfortable more than fully equipped. Definitely recommend and a pity that we only stayed for a short time.
