Location is OK and still close to town, but just away from the main tourist areas. You're quite close to other neighbours and flats and the first night was terrible with a dog barking all night and people having a party. But the other two nights were absolutely fine and no noise at all, so could just have been a one-off.
Beautiful view and lovely to wake up to looking down on Rotorua and seeing all the natural wonders and trees. Good value for money having a whole house for the same price as a hotel room for two families.
