We stayed 5 nights, over the Easter period, at Lake View. Phil's communication was exceptional - he accommodated a later checkout with no issue. Upon arrival he gave us a great run-through of the best things to do in Rotorua and the surrounding areas and his knowledge was second to none - we really appreciated this.
The best thing about Phil's place is the spectacular view. I don't think you'll find another Airbnb in North Island with such wonderful scenery! The location is ideally situated, close enough to Rotorua to be able to do things, but far enough away to promote peacefulness and tranquility. The place itself is incredibly spacious. In case people miss this in the description: there is no WiFi.
