We loved it & loved Des!
We stayed for a week in Des' small but cozy self-contained abode. It had all the basics & your very own washroom. We spent most of our time wandering around Rotorua (20 minute - gorgeous car ride), but when home, we enjoyed an easy cooked meal & some browsing on the wifi.
Des is a fantastic host with some of the best stories we've had the pleasure of experiencing. Highly suggest grabbing a couple beers & chilling with Des on the terrace - let him take you away to other times! (But only if you want - he was great at giving us privacy as well!).
Thanks Des for such a fantastic time. We're still on the hunt for some ambergris! xx
