We (husband, me, son, girlfriend) had a nice stay while we spent a long holiday weekend in Rotorua. That said, the house is in need of updating - the bathroom fixtures are rusted, the mattresses are very uncomfortable, and the bedding was not at all soft and inviting. The kitchen and living room were very nice and easy to use and well-stocked with a big tv and newish appliances. Because of rainy weather, we didn’t use the hot tub but it looked nice. The host was lovely to work with. She even extended our stay last minute at a slight discount which we appreciated. There’s a bakery and dairy a short walk away but getting into town and to the adventure activities does require a drive. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood- nice to come back to after a day of hiking, zip lining, etc.
