Barbara's place is amazing value for money! The apartment has a really generous size, a full kitchen, sky TV and Neflix, really everything you could possibly need! It's only a short drive to town, and there are supermarkets, takeaways, etc. close by. As described in the listing, you can hear the people living upstairs, but it's not so loud that it would be annoying. I would definitely stay again on my next trip to Rotorua.
