We stayed 4 nights at Shelly’s place. The house is located on a quiet street in a great neighborhood. There were only four of us and all our beds were comfortable and the linens were clean. There were plenty of bath towels. The kitchen was very specious and well stocked. Shelly even left some food in the refrigerator and the pantry for us to eat, and we’re very grateful for that! There was a problem with internet when we first arrived and Shelly came in right away with her husband and resolved the issue. I can’t comment on the area’s restaurants and grocery stores as we were traveling in many different directions around Rotorua and were shopping and eating in other neighborhoods. The house is located only 20-minutes walking from the beautiful Redwoods. Shelly’s place would have been more economical if we’d had more people in our company as there were a few more beds available. To summarize: Shelly’s house is a welcoming place for any traveler!
