We had a beautiful, relaxing experience in the pod and Kirsten is a wonderful host. We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed our own space as well as chatting with Kirsten and engaging with all the friendly animals! There is a toaster and a microwave so we made do with toasted sandwiches, salad etc but it looks like there’s a place in Okere falls to get food if you don’t want to go back and forth to Rotorua. We were happy that Kirsten has a worm farm and chickens for food waste as well as recycling available. The hot tub was divine once it was hot enough, although it did take between 3-4 hours so be patient. We also went to the nearby kaharoa kokako trust DOC track, a stunning bush walk and heard our first Kokako song! Perfect stay for what we needed and there is so much to explore in BOP just needed more time- enjoy!
