My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay here. Danna and Cecilie were very accommodating and considerate of our space. They live upstairs and have very friendly pets (2 dogs, 1 cat). Consider staying here if you don't mind the 12 minute drive into downtown Rotorua. Also keep in mind there's no cooking space for you, but there is a small kitchenette with water heater, mini fridge, utensils, and dishware. You have your own bathroom with laundry machine, but no dryer. It's a fair place to stay if you're not trying to be fancy. Oh, and the view of the lake and island are beautiful.
