We stayed at Julie and Mennos for 2 nights. We got in pretty late on our first night but Menno was still so accommodating. We had all we ever needed and more! Snacks, soaps and drinks. We felt right at home. Menno was easily reachable and checked in with us to make sure we had all we ever needed. The location is only a few minutes drive into town which was perfect for us to explore Lake Rotorua, eat st and the redwoods! The neighborhood is very quite and there is a small public playground around the bend with a lovely view of a mountain. The private garden area was lovely to have breakfast or tea and offered privacy if we wanted to leave our French doors or blinds open. We loved waking up to the sunrise and birdsongs each morning!
