Positives: the location is great. Close to the shops, but quiet and absolute lakefront. Just 10 min or so and you are in downtown Rotorua. This is also a huuuuge place, lots of room. There is a heatpump AND a fireplace, lots of dry firewood and a heater in every room. The house did not smell mouldy. Check-in was easy and the place was clean. Also, free Netflix.
The negatives: there were quite a few things in need of repair: a couple of cracked windows, badly stained carpet in the lounge, broken insect screens, a broken shelf etc. The place just needs a bit of fix-up and TLC, and it would be 100% amazing.
