This property is a true gem! It is a short drive from Rotorua town. It was very nice being tucked away in the trees. Even though there are neighboring homes immediately to the right and left, you still felt very secluded. The view is priceless!
We were pleasantly surprised to be located very close to a small shopping center with numerous eateries and a petrol station really close by.
The home itself was very nice. The bathroom setup is a little strange but having read previous reviews we knew what toexpect. The ensuite has a jacuzzi tub and toilet. Down the hall is a bathroom with just a shower and sink. On the 1st floor there is a toilet with a very, very small sink. I would compare the size of the sink to one on an airplane. Like I said, it was strange but we made it work.
All 3 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. There is ample space for a family with kids! Our kids actually wanted to sleep downstairs in the common room on the very comfortable couch as the beautiful flat screen TV was choice!
The laundry room was great! Be aware, we were told the dryer on property wasn't efficient and clothes would need to be dried on a clothes line. It was very chilly and rainy at times making that a bit challenging. If they upgrade the dryer this would make the property even more desirable!
My biggest "critique" would be the wi-fi. We had a really hard time connecting and staying connected. Thankfully a friend who is from NZ stayed with us and we ended up using her phone as a mobile hotspot. We relied heavily on wi-fi as our international mobile plan was very expensive. I would recommend having your own mobile hotspot until the system is upgraded.
The spare comforter blankets were lovely! I suggested the property have a surplus of towels as only 1 was provided per guest. The ability to wash the towels was great but not being able to dry them in a dryer posed a challenge.
Overall we LOVED our stay and would to stay again!
