Lyn and Julian, as hosts, make this a very special place to stay. They are super friendly and helpful. The cottage is just what it looks like in the pictures, set Ina pastor landscape with cattle and sheep grazing nearby. It is about 10 minutes from Rotorua, so,when we reached "home" in the evening we were out of the tourist hubbub. The cottage had every amanity needed and the hosts asked for suggestions to make any small improvements that would increase the enjoyment of the guests.
