Heritage Villa and Timber Retreat in Central Rotorua
Welcome to Central Inn - two character filled homes on one property, comfortably sleeping up to 8 guests, in the heart of Rotorua City.
'Central Heritage Villa' and 'Timber Retreat' sit side by side and can be booked separately (through our other listings), or together here.

Situated in the heart of the city, Central Inn is walking distance to many shops, supermarkets, thermal hot pools and spas, parks, attractions and more. So, if you're looking for convenience and charm, you've come to the right place!
Central Heritage Villa
The main villa is spacious, warm, and filled with personality and charm. It offers 3 bedrooms (King, Queen, and Twin) and 1 bathroom, comfortably sleeping up to 6 guests. The most unique feature would have to be the grand library, which has a secret door leading to another room - usually something only seen in movies!
Timber Retreat
Tucked in behind the main villa is a self-contained cosy timber cottage, with a queen-sized bed, ensuite and kitchenette, just perfect for an 2 additional guests. The log cabin style rooms with timber features and country charm promises an unforgettable experience.
There is plenty of off street parking between the villa and cottage, as well as in the driveway, for up to 5 vehicles.
You will have the entire property to yourself and access to both the villa and the cottage.
For those needing to stay connected there is TV and WIFI. Fresh commercial linen is also supplied, so you don't need to bring a thing.
An array of attractions are all within a 5-10 minute drive - including geothermal sites and hot mineral spas, the gondola, luge and Zorb, native forest canopy tours, the Agrodome and lion park, the Redwood Forest tree top walks and world class mountain biking trails, markets, cafes and eateries, just to name a few!
We have a strict no party policy here. Quiet hours are from 10pm-7am.
As a guest, you acknowledge any loss and/or damage to the
property will result in a charge or charges for repair and/or replacement value.

Nice place to stay
This place is so central we walked everywhere in central Rotorua that we needed too. It was nice and clean and was all more than what we expected. The library and hidden bedroom and the back cottage were a hit for us.

Cute little cottage
The property is well located and nearby to the main the park. The property was clean and well appointed. A little quirky as a result of the age of the house, but in a good way. The house is cute though not in a ‘pretty’ area. One bedroom was ‘hidden’ behind a wall.

Great location and awesome accommodation
Location of the property was great - close to lots of attractions and restaurants but still in a quiet location. Property owner was very helpful with info about the area. Houses were well maintained, clean, and comfy.

Everything Perfect
Absolutely perfect. A lovely well equiped house in a great location. Only feedback was back cottage was super hot when we opened it up. However didn’t take long to cool down when windows and doors were opened for a while. Without a doubt we would stay there again. Thanks to the host. Sean Cunningham and family.
