Lydia is a fantastic host. This place is very quiet/peaceful. Thankfully, there is no hydrogen sulphide smell here. On another occasion, I stayed at a downtown Rotorua motel. On the first two nights, the strong hydrogen sulphide smell was a novelty, but by the third night, we were completely over it. I vowed to never stay in a smelly part of Rotorua ever again. Thankfully, Lydia's place has fresh clean air outside of it (good for sleeping at night). It was great to be able self-check-in after midnight, as I drove up from Wellington (I left Wellington at 8:40pm). I would like to stay here again. 😊👍
