Highly recommend calling this place home for your time in Rotorua! We only wished we had booked a longer stay. Everything is brand new in this studio - and it's tucked away in a private area that faces the forest. We sat in the spa under starlight, enjoyed the three minute walk to the less-touristy Lake Okareka, and BBQ'd. We had no problem cooking whatever meals we'd like with the electric frypan and BBQ. Without having been to Rotorua prior to this visit, we had no idea if the studio would feel too far from town but quite honestly, it was the perfect amount of breathing room from town. Only a 5 or 10 minute (beautiful) drive to town - and well worth it to feel like you have your own holiday home. Win was a great host - she allowed us to be flexible on our departure and left us cookies, bread, and other yummy provisions. If you're looking for a stay that is above and beyond, look no further :)
