This Airbnb has the best of both worlds. Its close enough to all the town areas (~20mins) yet is a tranquil getaway on its own. The hosts Sally and Max are friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and my partner really enjoyed the coconut yoghurt. The forest really is a few steps away and the mornings are peaceful waking up to the sounds of native wildlife. The accommodation itself is modern, clean and we found everything we needed. The hot tub is really nice and a perfect way to unwind after a day of activities. They also welcomed our Birman kitten who had her first experience seeing 'birds' (chickens) bigger than her! We recommend this accommodation to all and when we return to Rotorua we will definitely be staying again. 5 stars from us!
