My wife and I spent 10 nights at The Summer House B&B, mountain biking by day and relaxing by night. We loved every minute of it.
Our hosts Jess and Barry were so welcoming, yet the B&B felt very private and we enjoyed the spacious backyard and loads of privacy.

We cooked most of our own meals thanks to the well equipped and stocked kitchen. The supplied breakfast was nothing short of incredible: from bacon, eggs, hash browns and pancakes, through to home made muesli, fresh fruits and gourmet yoghurts, and everything in between. And if that weren't enough, Jess also provided some home-baked goodies (chocolate brownies, caramel slice etc) too. The breakfasts were definitely a highlight.

Initially were were worried the cottage would be too small, but it wasn't at all. There was ample space and a sun-soaked outdoor area for relaxing and a private, shaded spa area for soaking after a big day on the trails. The hot tub was really clean and well maintained.

The bed was softer than ours at home, which is ultra firm, but supportive enough and we slept like babies every night. We love our music and they have the best sound system of anywhere we have ever stayed. It happily played our own music from our iPhones. We used the washing machine most days so it was great to have it right in the cottage.

Our hosts provided a secure place to store our bikes and a hose for washing them down. It was nice to have our bikes tucked away and not under our feet. There was even a place for us to store helmets, shoes etc outside to dry.

The world famous Rotorua mountain bike tracks are less than 10 minutes ride away, most of which is bush track. The climb up the hill after the ride wasn't as tough as it looked and worth it for the views and being away from the sulphur smell.

We will definitely stay again when we go back to Rotorua. We can't imagine finding any place better.
