With just a few days to explore the attractions around Rotorua, my wife and I finally chose to stay at Anne's and Al's Tauranga River Retreat. Excellent decision! While Rotorua is a short one hour's drive away, Anne's and Al's farm is well located to explore the nearby beaches too. We found their accommodation superbly presented and so very, very comfortable - maybe too comfortable as we regretted having to leave! Anne and Al are generous hosts and the Retreat is well stocked with breakfast supplies. It's well known that New Zealand offers travellers stunning scenery to enjoy. The views from the Retreat's bedroom balcony of the farm's rolling green hills and babbling stream were for us just as memorable.
