Having stayed in central Rotorua before, I’d highly recommend opting for a stay at Daniel and Kerry’s, which is a short 12 minute drive to the city centre. There’s great local attractions such as Okere Falls we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. Thoughtful touches like a caffetiere, good coffee, fresh milk, bread and butter make you feel at home :)
Their little lifestyle block is stunning - it was so refreshing to wake up to views of rolling green hills, sheep and chickens. Extremely scenic and peaceful! The hosts are super responsive, kind and efficient. The accommodation is totally private, self contained and cosy and because it’s centrally heated it was wonderful in the wintery weather. Getting to pat two friendly cocker spaniels competed the experience! Highly recommend.
