Totally worth staying just outside of town and it truly did feel like we were in another place all together. Views we’re incredible, kids loved the mini ponies which we bought carrots for, the place was very clean and very spacious! Almost way more room than we actually needed but the kids were comfy and used the center room for homework. They loved that there was toys in the closet too and the washer came in handy. Super close to every tourist thing you can think of in Rotorua, anywhere from 5-15 mins to any destination. She also offered to let us stay a little longer on our check out day but we ended up leaving on time - still a very sweet offer. Definitely would recommend!
