We stayed at Rotorua in Marie and Geoff’s lakeside apartment, who gave us a warm welcome and made us feel very much at home. It was delightful to wake up each morning to the wonderful view of the lake that we overlooked from our bedroom window.
It is well placed for all the local attractions, such as Wai-o-Tapu geothermal wonderland. This is so well worth a visit. Also, a short drive into Rotorua, where you can explore the lovely gardens and old buildings. You are also well placed for supermarkets and there are several ATMs in the city.
Marie and Geoff were fantastic hosts, and very generous with offering helpful advice and guidance, plus encouraged you to try their home-grown produce. The added bonus, is Max, their gorgeous dog, who is very friendly and well-behaved. The accommodation is well-equipped and there is a dehumidifier which we found useful during an unusually hot and humid spell. Definitely recommend a stay if you are looking for accommodation in Rotorua.
