Carol's place is literally by Lake Rotorua and there are plenty of swans and ducks around to interact with. Kitchen is fully equipped to cook up a storm. We really enjoyed our stay at Carol's place and would highly recommend it! Close to a huge countdown and a few attractions ie Ogo, Rainbow Springs, Mitai Maori etc and not too far from the town centre too. Only thing we didn't quite like was the old wooden furnishing but that's all everything else was great!
