I'd give this place a 10, just for the scenic views!
This en-suite room is located bang on the lakeside. It offers spectacular views of Lake Rotorua. We were lucky enough to be here just after the full moon, and see the moonlight dancing on the waters. In the morning, we were greeted by a sunrise on the lake, birds chirping against the sounds of the waves.
The room itself is comfortable, stylish and fully functional. It has a good heating and cooling, a TV with Netflix, microwave, tea & coffee, etc.
In terms of location, the room is 15 mins drive from the Rotorua city centre. You can buses (cheaper) or taxis (for $20)
Our trip was made extra special by Lauren & Sam's hospitality (Thank you for the gifts!) and their dog Yogi, the happiest creature on the planet. We would love to visit again.
