Another 11/10 AirBnb! The location is perfect. Easy to reach all parts of Rotarua and close to the city centre.
The house itself is tucked down the back of a driveway and is private and quiet with plenty of parking.
You go up 4/5 stairs to get to the front door and then the master Bed is to the right and the bathroom
Is to the left. There is plenty of storage in both and the shower is wonderful!
There are then 4/5 internal stairs down to the main floor with a fully functioning kitchen, laundry room with top loader machine (no tumble dryer but a good hanging space out the side of the house and a spacious rack for inside.)
The lounge and dining are are beautiful with double height ceilings. The table easily seats 6 and the sofa and chairs are a welcome place to relax.
There is a further twin bedded room next to the lounge that also leads into the garage.
Going back up the 4/5 steps you can turn right and go up to the mezzanine floor where there are two further bedrooms. A single and a twin bunk bedded room. The open mezzanine bit has a keyboard which we didn’t explore.
Out the back is a comfortable and private garden with plenty of seating and the bonus of a heated square pool with seating along two sides. It is heated by two pipes carrying geothermal water and is totally wonderful after a long day of exploring.
If you are looking for modern 5* luxury go elsewhere. There is no air con and it is all “comfortable” rather than sleek. Jonathan’s home is relaxing and has a calming effect after long days exploring all the wonderful sites.
We had a recommendation for a restaurant called Urbano Bistro which is a mere 7 minutes walk and was a real treat. So if you are looking for a special meal out I would recommend it. We also went on the Lakeland Queen for a Dinner Cruise around Rotarua Lake. It was glorious and well worth it. I could go on and on about the wonderful places we visited and we only wish we had been there a lot longer!!
Thank you Jonathan 11/10!!
