From the moment my partner and I walked into Margaret and Rob's beautiful property, we were instantly made to feel welcome. They met us at their front door and showed us around the studio which even featured some of Margaret's amazing homemade muesli (great with yogurt in the morning) and cookies (absolutely delicious and perfect with a cup of tea in the late afternoon). The studio was very modern and immaculately clean which set us up for a more than comfortable stay.
Their extensive knowledge of the surrounding areas ensured that all of their recommendations were spot on. Rob's glowing review of Rotorua Canopy Tours (zip lining) persuaded us to make a booking for the next day and we had an incredible time! Before we left, they also recommended that we check out the Rimu Loop Walk up the road from their house, the "Secret Spot", Huka Falls and Taupo on our drive to Wellington (all of which we did, making our last full day in New Zealand a stellar one which we'll never forget). They also cooked us a lovely breakfast to make sure we had a good start to the day on our journey to Wellington on our last morning there (Rob's poached eggs are awesome!) which we really appreciated.
Thank you Margaret and Rob for making our stay in Oropi so wonderful. Thanks for showing us the great Kiwi hospitality and all the best with your Airbnb.
Highly recommend this place if you want to get away from the city and experience a very special country stay.
