Des's place is a quirky and well equipped home. It has ton's of Cycling memorabilia and is well kitted out with area information/maps and phone numbers of services in the Tarawera and greater Rotorua district. It's an easy stroll to the lakefront and Des is very helpful with tips and information for any day trips,walks and tracks around. We were especially appreciative of the well equipped kitchen and guidebooks and information in the home.
