Carla's place really is "lovely by the lake". Lake Rotorua is just about 5 minutes, walking, in one direction and supermarkets even closer in the other. You can be downtown, on foot, in about 15 minutes. Carla was a great host and her airbnb quarters very comfy and clean. So nice to have a living space plus a bedroom, even with a TV. Also handy to have some breakfast items provided.
