Our mid-winter visit to Rotorua was made extra cozy by staying at Mark’s lovely Lockwood home. There were plenty of heaters to warm up the rooms quickly, plus we enjoyed making a fire in the wood stove - nothing better for a winter’s night! The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need - from board games to tons of info on local attractions. Everything was comfortable and clean, and the location near the forest, but handy to town, was just perfect. Mark replied quickly to our questions and provided fresh bread and coffee beans every morning as a special thoughtful touch, but he gave us ample privacy. Highly recommended for groups of friends and families. Great outdoor area that we hope to enjoy next time we visit in better weather!
