Phil's place is clean, comfortable and has gorgeous views of Lake Rotorua. I spent the day visiting sites in Rotorua, and it was an easy 20-25 minute drive north at the end of the day. We had rainstorms that day, and Phil met me in the driveway with a giant umbrella. The space is thoughtfully laid out with a full bedroom and bath, plus a sitting room with a handy kitchenette. A very peaceful spot with a very warm and welcoming host. I highly recommend Phil's place.
