This is one of those places where the pictures look amazing in the listing, but you get there in person and it’s somehow even better - simply cannot recommend enough.
Both the yard and house were beautifully maintained. We travelled here in late June/July when the weather can be quite cold but there were multiple heating options including a working fireplace (with everything you need to get it going included).
The area the house is located is quiet and doesn’t get any of the sulphur smell from nearby Rotorua with ample activities to do within driving distance. The appliances in the house from kitchen to bathroom are all high end which made staying here feel very comfortable (amazing water pressure in the shower too). And to top it off, the host was incredibly helpful and responsive to any queries we had throughout our stay.
One thing to be aware of is that while the toilet is in its own little space with a door, that space is located inside the main bathroom/laundry space (so if someone is taking a shower the rest of the guests do lose access to the only toilet). That said, it out worked just fine for us with four people in our group.
