Very comfortable large home. Good location. Lovely towels and toiletries. Responsive host. However bedside lamps would def be appreciated in the 2 main bedrooms, and only 1 bedside table. Nowhere to put suitcases up to unpack. Foldable luggage racks or even stools an ottoman or chairs would be appreciated. Overall a nice home.

Beautifully appointed retro house

Really positive experience with the place, amenities, communication, location. The place was so cute and well maintained with almost everything being thought about. Only small negative was the bed and mattress (single) was very soft and therefore quite uncomfortable. Almost felt like a was sleeping in a hammock.

Had everything we needed

We appreciated the basic food stuff: Tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and oil. It was clean and comfortable, and there was lots of space. The light in the back double bedroom was temperamental, perhaps the remote needs new batteries.

A good and quiet place to discover the surroundings of Rotorua

The house gives plenty of places with the vaste sitting room, dining place and the big kitchen. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough to spend time on the nice place outside. The beds were nice and soft but for us too soft. On the pictures the house looks less old than it is in reality.

A jaded, dated property that needs renovating

I don’t mind old fashioned furniture/decor but there was wallpaper peeling off the walls, old and stained bathroom furniture, a few blown lightbulbs. But ultimately it was the very strong smell of rotten eggs that put us off, as they get the heat from a thermal bore hole. We weren’t prepared for the smell in the area of Rotorua so that didn’t help. But it was very strong around this property. We asked to be moved and InnList team kindly moved us to another property a few streets away. The smell was evident now and again at this one but nowhere near as overwhelming.

Asthma Attack for one.

The house was nice enough and walking distance to the city centre. However, when we walked into the house there was a slight damp mouldy smell in the house. We booked for six people but one of the guests had an asthma attached as a result of the mouldy smell they were unable to stay at the house. We had to book alternative accommodation. We paid for 6 people at the house and only 4 people were able to stay. As a guest had travelled from the UK to visit us, this spoilt our stay unfortunately. The house was mostly clean however the bathrooms need better cleaning. Without the damp issue, this would be a 4-star rating.
