The Summer House is amazing. We have enjoyed some wonderful Airbnb accommodations in NZ but this one was truly special. After a long travel day to arrive in Jessica and Barry's back garden retreat was like hitting the spa. The wee house has everything one would want, lovely bed, full kitchen and bath, beautiful garden views, total quiet and privacy, a hot tub (spa) just across the lawn.

We felt completely spoiled by the home baked blueberry muffins and the plethora of items provided for breakfast were equally delicious. Jessica's art adorns the walls and her gracious touches of hospitality are sprinkled about the house.

Occasionally, the sulphur aroma that defines Rotorua can be detected if the wind blows up from town to the hillside, but this was minimal.

There is a local bus but a car would be useful to come and go from this location.
