Jo’s place was lovely. It looked out on a little waterway with two horses across the way- and it was surrounded by her beautiful garden. She, her nephew and her pups were all very welcoming as the guesthouse is next to her home. The place is full of cute details, and was very clean! It was about 10-15 min by car to Rotorua, which we loved- quieter and way nicer than the tourist circuit. Highly recommend.
