It was hard to know Rotorua’s logistics and I’d thought this might be a bit closer downtown (I didn’t have a car). I think this is a perfect location if you have a car (cabs aren’t easy to get), but a bit far to walk into town (though the walk can take you through an amazing part that might be my favorite part of my time in Rotorua). It’s hard to hold this against the place since it’s more on me for underestimating the distance.
That said, the home was so comfortable. The garden was beautiful. It was very close to groceries, wine, a few restaurants, etc. And Teresa was generous and flexible when things needed adjustment on my part.
