I would not recommend any solo traveller stay at this address. It was not as advertised. I booked to stay in a double room but when I arrived to the accommodation, I was shown to the single room oppossite. The room smelled very stale and the whole experience I was unpleasant. The accommodation itself is dark, unappealing and quite rundown. I was just too uncomfortable to stay there on my own and had to find and pay for alternative accommodation in Rotorua. I asked the host if she would refund me half my money (I paid NZ$71 plus) on account of the property not being presented as advertised.
From the brief time I stayed at this property, I did not see any brochures or leaflets on local attractions anywhere in the room which, as a tourist from the other side of the world, was not helpful. The property is also a good 35 minute walk from what I now know to be the centre of Rotorua. I was lucky enough to be driving but be warned if you are not.
I was also very lucky to find further suitable accommodation that night and am happy to say that my story ends well in that regard.
I do not think this property meets the high standard that I have come to expect with AirBandB both as a traveller and host.
If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Ruth Murphy.
