We had a great time in Rotorua where Fay really spoiled us with food and goodies. The location is not really central so best done with a car or by bus if you don't mind taking public transportation. It is however literally next door to the redwood forest. Mind you, it would be best to get a car since sights around Rotorua are mostly around the city and not in the city itself and tour packages may become quite expensive. You can park on the driveway. The room has a new soft bed and offers plenty of storage. The fridge is filled everyday with breakfast goodies like bread, croissants, jam, yoghurt, home made muffins and fresh fruit. Moreover, Fay and Jon are a delight to talk to and can offer you some extra insights in local life and the surroundings.
