Great base for our Rotorua adventure

Though small, we found this a lovely cozy place from which to base our adventures in Rotorua. The location was handy to all the best spots. Best of all was the spa to warm up and relax in at the end of the day! It was spotlessly clean and we loved having the towels and linens provided.

Cutest Cottage just 5 minutes down the road

We loved staying at the Ngongotaha Cottage. Just a short 5min drive past the Skyline/Luge - it was still close to everything we needed, without being amongst the hustle and bustle. The owners gave us plenty of privacy, the spa pool was amazing and the cottage was so nicely presented. Great little cottage and we would easily book in again for all of our annual Rotorua visits for sports.

Fantastic

Fantastic 2 bedroom cottage style home. You do share property with a home located next to cottage however this did not affect our stay at all. Cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. And at the end of the day we absolutely loved coming back for a soak in the outdoor spa. Communication with host was excellent. All made for a wonderful stay.

Our Stay

Loved the property even though it looked very different to the original pictures look quite different to the ones shown when we booked the trip. Loved the SPA and the property was very clean and tidy and the main bed was great. Only negative was that we are used to cooking with Gas so the slowness of the electric oven and cook top was a little frustrating at first. Would definitely stay there again
