My husband and I had a great time at Philip's place. The views were outstanding and we loved the chickens, sheep and goat. It was nice to also meet Philip and appreciated that he took the time to welcome us and tell us a bit about the area. We were only there for 1 night but would happily stay again and spend more time. Definitely recommend to anyone staying in the Rotorua area, the drive to town is pretty quick and easy.
