Lise was an amazing host. Her place is super cute and cozy. She did provide a heated sheet in the bed, which we did not need during our stay, but was very nice to have on cold nights. Location was perfect distance from the town center, about 10 min drive (we self-drove) and plenty of on-street parking in a well-lit safe neighborhood. We ended up stopping by the Redwoods 3 out of 5 days we stayed, because it was so close to her home. Lise was so accommodating and we definitely recommend staying with Lise when you go to Rotorua.
