The room Jasmine offers is nicely decorated and was warm with the heater on full. However, we found the rest of the house very cold and unclean. The location was handy and Jasmine kindly rang up local restaurants to see if they had vegan options (we recommend Ciccio’s!). India, the cat, is just the cutest and friendliest! I’m allergic to cats and had no issues.
Whilst in Rotorua we visited the Whakarewarewa Living Māori Village and the Redwoods Treetop Walk. We also white water rafted with Rotorua Rafting who were ace! Also there’s a free, natural thermal pool and waterfall along the road to the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland which is a big recommend (it’s on the left by the white barrier. Walk 500m past the barrier and then cut into the bush on your right).
