If you are going to visit Rotorua you should book with Hillary!
She is a gracious host and she has a lovely home.
The rooms are big and the beds are extremely comfortable. Her kitchen is fully equipped with whatever you need to make your meals and there is a small store a few blocks away if you need anything. She has a nicely appointed bathroom downstairs for her guests with great water pressure in the shower.
Hillary is a fantastic host. She was very communicative and accessible from the start. She even offered to pick me up from downtown as I did not have a car during my visit. She was also very knowledgeable about area attractions and happy to give directions and advice on places to go and things to do in Rotorua. She suggested I visit the Waikite thermal pools and the Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland and I was not disappointed. It is also located 5 minutes from the Whakarewarwa redwood forest trails if you like tramping or riding mountain bikes.
This place has it all. A great space and a bargain at the price!
I for one will be returning to Rotorua and the first place I will book will be with Hillary.
