Valerie's guest suite was a true gem for spending our time in this part of NZ. We stayed for 5 nights and the place is very nicely decorated and a great size for a short trip. Check-in was flexible and easy, even when arriving in the dark. The communication was friendly and Valerie even surprised us with some lovely bakery treats. Whilst staying at Okere Falls, we explored the nearby Rotorua, several volcanic valleys further south, as well as the magnificent beaches of Tauranga and Bay of Plenty.
