Phil’s place is extremely extremely spacious, comfortable, well equipped and has amazing views — if you think Phil’s listing photos of the listing’s views are already too good to be true, it is true and indeed very beautiful. We had amazing sunsets and starry nights, and it was really nice to be able to just lounge by the long windows and just soak in the views.
Location wise, Phil’s place is out of town which makes it the perfect getaway spot! And despite being out of town, it is only a short drive away from town (10min or so) so it’s still really convenient! Best part is, just right down the hill from where the listing is, there’s a lovely peaceful park by the lake to take a walk along or just sit by the benches/playground swing to enjoy the lake and the views it has to offer.
Communication with Phil was also a breeze right from the beginning. Although we didn’t get to meet Phil in the end, Phil made sure that we were well taken care of right from check-in.
We would not hesitate a single bit all in recommending Phil’s place to anyone who is looking for a lovely getaway in Rotorua, and we would definitely love to be back at Phil’s place if we were to visit Rotorua again in the future. Thank you Phil and family for opening up this space and for hosting us!
