Our one night stay at Sandi's B&B was above and beyond anything that we could have expected. Her guest house was very clean and looked very nice. The room had a kettle to make hot water, and coffee and tea ingredients were provided. There was also a fridge in the room. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to our questions. The guest house had a private entry and a parking spot. The location was great too, about a 5 minute drive to the Rotorua city center and a 10 minute drive to the Polynesian Spa.
Sandi was very warm and friendly, and we had a great time chatting with her. She gave us very useful information about the city and places to visit. And the breakfast that she made was AMAZING. She took our breakfast orders the day before, asking what we liked and what we didn't like. The next morning she brought out a tray of fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and yogurt. And then the main dish was served: I had bacon. poached eggs, tomato, and avocado on toast (I might be forgetting something!), and my SO had salmon, tomato, mushrooms, avocado, and poached eggs on toast. It has been by far our best meal in NZ. Once we finished our meals, we signed the guest book (which she has maintained for 23 years!) and said good bye to Sandi. It's a shame that we could only stay a night. If we ever come back to Rotorua, I can't think of anywhere else to stay.
