Jo's place is in a great location close enough to local areas like Rotorua and Ngongotaha without the sulfur smells from the geothermal pools in the area so you can freely leave windows opened and walk around the area comfortably and safely.
Loved that we were able to feed the sheep she has on her property and see some cows, goats and cats as well.
We were able to have the whole house to ourselves with Jo just next door if we needed anything, she welcomed us and gave us a house tour when we arrived - Jo is very friendly and even gave us some recommendations on places to go and informed us of where we can get a quick feed since it was Easter so most shops were closed.
The kitchen was enough for us as we always ate out at local shops or had take away so it was good to have cutlery at home.
Overall a great place to stay over the long weekend and definitely recommend staying here if you're planning to visit Rotorua.
