Our family stayed at Gloria and Rodger's place as our base for a few days in Rotorua. It was a lovely spacious house which was just what we needed.
We had the downstairs area too, which was nice to have a second space to spread out although it was unseasonably cold so was a little hard to heat the downstairs lounge, but the bedrooms had heaters and the central heating upstairs was toasty. It would be great in summer as a respite from the heat :-).
Although suburban it felt quite private with the trees around and very peaceful. There were two tuis who fascinated us flitting around on the kowhai tree.
Very comfortable master bed and the house had everything that we needed.
The location was great, just a few minutes drive from Skyline etc.
Maria was lovely greeter too and quick to respond to our questions.
Recommended for a family or group. When asked what their favourite part of their holiday was our ten year olds said " the house" :-)
