Helen and Rich's place was just as described - tiny and cute, and stocked with eggs and some tasty treats. The kitchen was small, but we had no problems cooking several meals in it. I also had enough space to work out inside in the mornings. Helen and Rich were friendly, as was the puppy, who came to check on us every morning :) We did find that the chickens wake up with the sun and have a lot to say about it, but we generally do too, so we found ourselves waking up laughing at them. Oh, and the bed was more comfortable than most we've had in 17 days in NZ. The location is good - an easy drive into Rotorua, but far enough to avoid the noise and sulphur smells of the city (geo-thermal activity and all). We appreciated that they have compiled a list of restaurants and things to do in the area as well. We would stay with Helen and Rich again if we were in the area.
