Carla’s place is real gem - it really feels like you have your own place rather than a room in a house. You have a large bedroom, a large sitting room with access to outside and a small but perfectly good bathroom (with a warm and very powerful shower) all to yourself. You also have use of the garage which has a fridge, toaster, kettle and washing machine to use. Breakfast is provided too which was much appreciated! We were also able to park our car securely in the garage.
We stayed in Carla’s place for the cricket test match at Seddon Park, which was about a 20 minute walk away. It is also a short distance from the beautiful Lake Rotorua, which is absolutely stunning to walk around (about a 4km walk).
Overall we really enjoyed staying at Carla’s place - Carla is a great host, communicates really quickly and couldn’t have made us feel more welcome (she even got our washing in for us which we’d hung out on the line!). I would recommend her place to everyone and hope to return in the future. Thank you Carla!
