The title says it all - the location of this unit is perfect for anyone that wants to explore the Rotorua town center on foot. We visited with a group of five - 3 of us are big mountain bikers so we took the car to the Whakarewarewa forest for biking and the other 2 had such convenient access to explore the town, take a tour, and visit the spa with no car. The location could not be better, as it is seriously 2 blocks from the main part of town.
The unit is also very clean and very well appointed. There are 3 "proper" bedrooms, and the garage has been carpeted and could easily sleep 2 people if you have a large group. If you are allocating the rate among multiple people (5 in our case), it is a very economical place to stay and you don't feel at all like you're "saving money."
Hosts were easy to communicate with and were very responsive both before and during our stay. We had an issue with the Air Conditioner where we weren't able to get it to work at all and the hosts couldn't resolve it or help us resolve it before we left (but we were only there 2 quick nights). It was only really hot inside during the day, however, as the evening air cooled it right off.
If we visit Rotorua on a future journey to New Zealand, we will definitely be booking this place in advance to make sure we can stay there again.
