Warm and Cozy Self-Contained Unit, and Caring Hosts

On arrival Andy helped me with my baggage all the way up the stairs, the first host to do so in all our AirBNB stays ever. He got us situated and was helpful with all sorts of ideas on what to do and see in the area. The location is just a five minute drive to the Rotorua Museum.

The unit was really warm all-night long in winter, when we stayed, which was the first like that. My son and I watched a Maori program on the cable, and some sports events - it was fun. As my wife and I were traveling with our six year old son, Chloe and Andy were kind to set out an extra mini-single mattress which my son really enjoyed sleeping on, and his parents too! The kitchen was very functional, and supplied with lots of breakfast items which we appreciated. There is a skylight above kitchen, and two other windows which bring in lots of light in the daytime.

Andy and Chloe were kind enough to let us store our luggage in the downstairs closet for the day so we didn't have to risk keeping it in our rental car in a tourist parking lot. We returned an hour before the next guests were to check-in. While there, Andy's father gave us really good advice on avoiding road closures as we were headed toward through mountain passes on our way to our next host.

We would stay here again, and were sad we hadn't the time to hang-out more and get to know about their lives. Perhaps we can get to know each other better via Skype or email during the rest of our trip and after we return to Seoul.
