Central Cottage is without a doubt 5 Star accommodation. The moment we arrived we were greeted by Lyn and enjoyed a lovely visit getting to know each other. Later, we got to know her husband Julian, and her father who was visiting for a week. The location is gorgeous with amazing views over the lush green fields and cows wandering about the property, yet only 15 minutes to Rotorua. The cottage is spotlessly clean and feels spacious with every amenity you need. There were fresh flowers on the table, milk in the fridge, chocolates on the bed and a pantry with all the basic cooking essentials you need to cook at home. We made good use of the heaters and electric bed warmers, a lovely treat for those cool evenings. The washing machine is new and great to have in the cottage. Lyn and Julian are available any time offering recommendations of places to visit or just to have a chat about life on the farm. The attention to detail in the cottage shows they obviously love hosting their guests. We were sad to leave this peaceful and beautiful cottage and hope one day we can return. We highly recommend this cottage for anyone planning a visit to Rotorua. Thanks for your amazing Kiwi kindness and friendship Lyn & Julian. Kindest regards, Susan & Blair
