We had such a wonderful stay at Sandy and Max’s place! Communication was super easy right from the start. Max and Sandy are fantastic hosts - you can tell that they managed hotels for years! They went out of their way to make sure we were completely comfortable and happy, answered all our questions about what to do in the area, and gave us plenty of tips (such as directing us to some gorgeous walks nearby). Their place is a mere 10 minutes from Rotorua, and yet you get to be surrounded by bush and close to 3 beautiful lakes - we were so glad we opted to stay there and not in town! And as for the room and view - we were absolutely blown away. It is truly breathtaking. My girlfriend and I sat in the conservatory mesmerised long after finishing our yummy breakfast. You really get to see the world as birds do! The room itself is sunny and comfortable - the super king bed was an absolute treat to come home to! We really hope to make it back one day!
