The view is breathtaking, the house is unique, and the location is perfect for Rotorua.
But what REALLY shined through was Sandy and Max's AMAZING hospitality. They both went completely above and beyond.
Upon arrival Sandy offered to take us to see a small spot of glow worms not far from the house (we arrived at night time). Really cool and it was a great place to star gaze for a bit... Then each morning breakfast was prepared at a time of our choosing. This really helped us get up and going without needing to fuss with stopping at a cafe and spending another $20-30+ for breakfast. Top that off with the local sightseeing tips they gave... we really had a great stay.
We've both been AirBnB'ing for many years now, and agree that Sandy and Max have stood out among any other hosts we've had.
Thank you both!!
