Lakeside Loft

Yun-TaiRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Kristin has been great with communication, offering early check in as soon as the place is available. Location is excellent, lake front, next to many restaurants and most importantly, 3 min walk to Wai Ariki hot spring which is the main reason for our visit to Rotorua. Note though because of the proximity to Eat Street - Friday night particularly can be very noisy , music well into 1am . The pull out couch at the study does sleep the 5th guest, but the study is more a recess from the kitchen area, so whoever sleeps there bring eye mask and ear plugs.

Quiet City Central Stay

WinnieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Tina’s place was cozy and tidy. Although we didn’t get to meet Tina in person, she provided us with clear instructions to enter the room. The location was excellent — there were plenty of free, open parking spaces right outside, and it was less than a 10-minute walk to the city center, saving us the trouble of finding parking downtown. We did encounter a small issue with the door lock being a bit tricky to open, but Tina responded quickly and helped us out. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

A well-maintained swimming pool is highlighted, surrounded by lush greenery and landscaped gardens. A vibrant blue hue of the water contrasts with the neatly paved area leading to a small green shed in the background. Clear skies and sunlight enhance the inviting setting.

Shanti BhagavatiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful stay with Faith! Very cosy and comfortable accommodation for our 2 nights there. It was near everywhere we wanted to go (Redwood forest, hell's gate, te puia, town for groceries and souvenier shopping) in a very nice quiet location. Bed was so comfy we had a very good sleep after driving around. Faith was also very friendly and we had a good chat with her. She even gave us recommdations on what we should do and told us where to go for a beautiful sunrise. One of us left the charger in the unit and she post it out for us. Super helpful and much appreciated! Thanks for making our stay memorable. We wish you all the very best!
