This was a wonderful base from which to explore the amazing delights of Rotorua. The home provided all the basic necessities and was quite comfortable.
There were a few small issues that could benefit from attention including the dryer (only seemed to work with cold air), the dishwasher (did not clean well), the basin spout in the main bathroom (so short hands couldn't fit under), the lack of fitting plugs and an air exchange system that cut in with cold air in the middle of the night. I have drawn these issues to the attention of the hosts and thus I expect they will be attended to promptly.
A guest considering a stay at Redwoods Retreat would also benefit from knowing that the laundry is under the house and thus quite rustic. We were also unsure about the maintenance schedule for the spa and thus chose not to use it.
Redwoods Retreat was excellent value and with the small improvements suggested above, we would not hesitate to book again for a future trip.
