Phil and Anna were my most favorite hosts so far in my journey of New Zealand. They have been the most warm and welcoming hosts possible and also gave us a lot of information about Rotorua. Not only that, he and Anna ensured that we were settling in their property comfortably and knew the basics around the house, which was a great help and got easy for us to find things around.
About the property, one recommendation, dont go by the pictures, you have to have to be there to experience what the pictures say. If you re in Rotorua, this is the best place you ought to stop by to experience the beautiful views of Rotorua, changing colors of the sky (from blue to red to orange), you basically see the skyline of Rotorua and sense the fresh air!
This place is a sheer beauty one should not miss :)
