We had a great time staying at Sandi's b&b, which felt like a home away from home. While not in the main town it's in a convenient spot for sight seeing even if you don't have a car - 5 minute walk to the luge, and there's a bus that goes by during the day. Rotorua has a small taxi stand if you get stranded too, which was $15 to get from town to Sandi's.
Sandi's breakfast was amazing ( I miss it already), and we really appreciated the pool and air-con on those hot sunny days! Thanks for the great stay Sandi
