The location of this home couldn’t be better! It’s right on the lake, a two minute walk to a great park and close to all sorts of fun Rotorua activities.
We were disappointed to find that the house was in need of a deep clean. Lots of dust, crumbs, grease splatters, missed corners and details. If there had been an extra washcloth or rag I could have cleaned some of it myself but there weren’t even spare towels (no beach towels either which we found strange since it’s on a lake and has a hot tub). A little more attention to detail and a few more loving touches could put this home over the top.
Since the host asks that you bring your own laundry soap, dish detergent, etc we found The Bin Inn (only 5 minutes away) a helpful bulk goods store to get just the small amount we needed for our one load of laundry.
On the plus side we found the beds comfortable and Katie was always a very quick communicator which was greatly appreciated.
Our highlights of Rotorua were the Redwood Forest and the Whakarewarewa Living Village which were both a quick 5-10 minute drive.
