This cottage is not to be missed if you have the chance to stay. It is up a track in beautiful surroundings ,away from the hubbub of touring New Zealand. It is the perfect base for central North Island and Rotarua itself has plenty to keep you busy during the day and then return to the cottage to sit on the decking with a cold beer and listen to the bird song in the evening, bliss. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for your stay.Danielle is lovely, very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. We were sorry to leave and move on x
