This place is every bit as stunning as the photos, with a view that can't be beat. The vista from the living room window goes on and on, and is absolutely beautiful at all times, from sunrise well into the night when stars and planets are easily seen by the naked eye. The kitchen chairs are basic folding chairs, there were no extra towels, the pots and pans are pretty worn, and the walls could use a good wipe-down (there were dust-webs on many of the walls) but those small details didn't stop us from thoroughly enjoying this unique apartment. And Rotorua. Wow. We loved the usual attractions (Polynesian Spa, Wai-o-taupa, etc.) and especially the Buried Village, which was well worth the trip.
