Jo is a great host. She greeted us and on our arrival and was really nice of her to give us fresh milk, coffee and tea. Her place is actually attached to the back of her house so just be aware of that. I liked how she had a place for us to park our car on her property. Place isn't really around any restaurants or shops, but central Rotorua is only a 5 mins drive away. The place is very clean and homely. It does not have a kitchen or a common area to hang out with everyone in our party, but you can certainly hang out at the back yard. The main entrance is through a bedroom, so people staying in the second room will have to go through the first bedroom. You'll want the early risers to perhaps stay in the first bedroom so they don't have to wake up the ones that want to sleep in.
