Marlene and Baz's place served as a great base for us during our time in Rotorua. We enjoyed our stay immensely. They greeted us upon arrival and had a nice fire going in the wood-burning stove. The house had everything we needed. We were traveling with our bicycles and we appreciated the extra space to store, service, and clean them.
The surrounding neighbourhood is very quiet and safe. It's a short walk down to Lake Rotorua where you can have a picnic.
We hope to return soon!
