Nice spot, great location
Just a short stay for us and it suited our needs perfectly. Great location with a few minutes from Golf Course and only 10mins to the lake front. Lovely and clean.

Lovely home in Rotorua! Close to everything, just a great place!
Loved staying at Teemo’s Place! It’s a beautiful home right in the heart of Rotorua, but also tucked away nicely so not busy and loud at all! Great yard, cooked in the kitchen a bunch, laundry was helpful, nice layout. Altogether a great time! Thank you, Craig!
