Phil's place is about 20-25 mins out of Rotorua with fantastic views across the lake and surrounding countryside. During our short stay there we had one beautiful day when we woke to clear blue skies and an amazing 180 degree view which was difficult to capture in just one photo!! Phil provided us with all the information we would need about things to do and see in and around Rotorua as well as all the hot eating spots. There is also a great selection of flyers in the house. The house is well equipped complete with an oven and 2 ring burner so easy to make yourself simple meals. Phil respects your privacy but is there if you need anything at all. Would recommend this place if you like to be off the main drag and appreciate stunning views!
