Hello Airbnb! The single most impressive feature of this home are the hosts Peter and Betty. They are kind, generous and easy going. I really felt like part of the family. The space for money is unbeatable. They left us a wonderful basket of fruit (including freijoa trom their tree), eggs, milk, bread and plenty of cookies, cereal, tea and coffee. You'll have everything you need in the kitchen.
All the beds, bedding and towels are new and comfortable. There are enough sofas and recliners for a big group to relax in front of the fire! The yard is big and beautiful for the kids to run around in. There are swings as well and of course the pool for nice days.
Just a couple notes for those who are particular. When visiting Rotorua, remember it does smell of sulfur. You'll catch a whiff every now and again in the home, but that's to be expected in a geothermal area.
This is an older home, so be mindful that there will be quirks like separate hot and cold taps. It can be chilly, but they provide enough heaters and heating blankets to keep you comfy at night. They also stock plenty of firewood. You will be in the large apartment under their smaller unit, but you have total privacy.
I really enjoyed my stay because The Pans are truly amazing people. Feel secure knowing they will take care of you like family.
