This is a really great place to stay. It is in a residential area, so very quiet, but also very close to anything you might need or want to get to in Rotorua. We had a hire car, so can't comment on the public transport, but by car it was less than 10 mins drive to Rotorua central. The space it's self is super cute and wonderfully comfy. By far our fave part was the excellent local knowledge in the house guide, especially about the thermal pools and geothermal wonderland at Waikite. Would absolutely recommend!!
