Checking-in was really simple and Michael provided great instructions (with pictures) beforehand so we knew exactly where to park and find the unit even though we were arriving later in the evening. The room looked exactly as pictured and was just the right amount of space for my boyfriend and I for our stay in Rotorua.
Distance wise, the unit was never more than a 10min drive from any of the places that we wanted to go to in town, and made for a great (peaceful) home base for our travels just out of town to places like the Agrodome, the geothermal parks, and the redwood forest.
Although Michael offers a breakfast picnic basket each morning (included in the cost of the listing), he also gave a handful of great suggestions of restaurants to visit in town for breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. that turned out to be yummy.
The only downside is the size of the sink - if you wash your face in the sink in the morning, this might be a little challenging as the sink is relatively small; but if you're only brushing your teeth or washing your hands, then no worries!
