Perfect Location but Noisy at Night – Solid Stay for Explorers

Great location—close to the Skyline and hot springs, very convenient! The place was clean and tidy, but the building is quite old. Being near the street with thin windows, nighttime noise can be a bit disruptive for light sleepers. Overall, a decent stay if you prioritize location over absolute quiet.

Perfect base of operations for Rotorua area a tivities

Communication was excellent, timely and informative. The cottage sits on a small hill over a side road leading into town. Great views, sunrises and breezes off the lake in a neighborhood setting. Small grocery store 100 ft away for all food essentials/breakfast, beer/wine etc. Kitchen very recently renovated with all new stove, dishwasher and fridge. Washer dryer work smoothly. Fresh paint inside and out keeps it bright. Den and master bedroom have AC splits. Two other bedrooms have windows and fans to pick up the breeze.Yingrui and her staff are easy to communicate with and willing to help out with questions, issues, etc. An excellent host!We would stay here again if we ever get back to NZMike L.

Christmas Break

We had an enjoyable stay. The host was very quick to respond when we have questions and was kind enough to send us information of activities, restaurants, shops and parks in the area to visit. The cottage was very clean and had everything that you need. I would definitely book this cottage again if I am in the area.

Very clean, bright accommodation

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of the host. The house was well stocked. It is an easy 35 minute walk into town, and centrally located for driving to the many geothermal sites in the area. It is a good place for families with the extra bedrooms and games provided.
