My stay at Kathryn’s was a five star experience. Her house is warm and cozy, complete with heated blanket, cat, and fireplace. The bed is super comfortable. Kathryn made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in, providing local tips and recommendations. I was able to do laundry and cook food easily. The WiFi was strong. There’s also a great (and cheap) fish and chips place nearby. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I return to Rotorua!
