Stephanie's place was perfect for our recent stay in Rotorua. Its really close to town (a few minutes drive) but super quiet. The house is thoughtfully furnished with a beetle motif running through the design (don't get freaked out by the one in the coffee cup!). Beds are comfortable with great linen and divers, laundry is great and bathroom is spacious with good hot water after a day mountain biking (which is why you need the laundry!). The whole vibe is relaxing, homely and just a touch sophisticated.
Stephanie is an awesome host - great communication, flexible when we needed to stay an extra night, and super thoughtful providing coffee, tea and some Lindt chocolates. Highly recommended - we will be back!
