If you have a car, this is the perfect place to book if visiting Rotorua area. I stayed 3 nights as a solo female traveler and felt safe and comfortable here. It was a nice, quiet and relaxing atmosphere a short walk to the lake.
The Purdies (owners) were able to meet me for check-in, but self-check in is available for you as well with a lockbox. There is a parking spot in the carport as well as free WiFi. The unit is detached and private, with a very large comfortable bed, heated blanket, bedside heater unit, mini-fridge, table, and all the essentials. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, hair dryer, hangers, hanging rack, and basic kitchen items and utensils.
It was a nice welcome with complimentary beverages and snacks, as well as some informative brochures/pamphlets/maps to help you plan your activities.
Definitely book this place if it’s available! You won’t regret it and it’s a good home base to stay in.
