This was a lovely place to stay with amazing views. Phil is a great host - kind, quick to respond, and very knowledgable about the area. He greeted us on arrival and gave us an intro to Rotorua (pointing out various buildings and attractions from his wonderful vantage point above the lake) and had plenty of suggestions of things to do, which we really appreciated! We also got to meet his friendly cats, chooks, and a very friendly goat!
I would highly recommend staying here - we only wish we could stay longer, and would definitely love to stay here again someday!
