We had a really nice stay here in the little house that is next door to the owner, Joanne, who was so nice and helpful. She has two sweet rottweilers who will bark as you pass her house, but that was no problem for us as we are used to dogs. The place was a good size, especially for two people, and not only do you have a view of the beautiful landscape but there is a stream and lovely garden right outside the door. Just keep in mind that the place is in a rural area so there were some bugs. The house was also very tidy and quite clean, although the throw rugs have seen better days. There is not much light in the bathroom, so it can feel a little dark when you take a shower. Would definitely recommend staying here, especially for the view and proximity to Rotorua sites, but if you require an immaculate place, this one may feel a bit rustic to you.
