Renato is a Swiss pastry chef who cooked hot cross buns for us right before Easter and spontaneously served us homemade French pastries in celebration of my wife’s birthday. His communications were always outstanding and caring. He has a great laugh and he and his wife are wonderful hosts. The value of the booking was excellent. The grounds were beautiful in the valley. The breakfasts were magnificent. I have never been to a more wonderful Airbnb. We were sensitive to sulfur smells so we took a hike in the redwood forest. That night we went to a Hangi Festival to try to understand better the Maori culture. It was magnificent! There are two Hangi festivals in Rotorua now because they have gotten so much attention. Go to the one south of town. The one south of town is more authentic, but it is more expensive and about an hour longer. There is no sulfur smell there. Renata, the wife, told us about a Thursday night food truck festival with music and the gorgeous Green/Blue Lakes look out
