Family of three, we stayed in Rotorua at Sally’s place for 2 nights.
Sally has been super friendly and very responsive before we arrived and even left us milk and home made jam in the fridge. We had the whole ground floor all to ourselves with full privacy (2 bedrooms, living room and private bathroom).
The area is close to everything else for those driving and is walking distance to Redwoods and Treewalk.
I really recommend this place if you’re in Rotorua; as a bonus, you might meet Pepa, an extremely friendly cat.
