Great private little cottage half way up Tarawera road between town and Blue Lake where we were attending a sporting event and right across the road virtually from the Redwoods. Easy to get into town by car on the evening or for supplies with a variety of shops at the end of the road. Quiet and peaceful surrounding tucked into a valley - felt like semi rural even though in a small new subdivision. Large loung kitchen dining and good outdoor deck spaces. Only oddity was bathroom facilities - the bathroom sink was in the entrance area and also doubled as a laundry with washing machine in same unit and toilet was on the other side of the entrance hall. Shower was up half a flight of stairs (with the two bedrooms) so all three components separate.
