This is a comfortable apartment in a suburb outside of central Rotorua but close to some interesting places to visit. Everything is accessible with a car. In fact we thought it was nice not to be in central Rotorua. We found the hosts very friendly and willing to help. They offered us use of their pool and hot tub and their garden really does back onto the lake. Inside, the apartment was comfortable and I felt Glendyr had put a lot of thought into providing for our comfort eg there were ponchos for wet weather - unfortunately we needed them!!!! It was good on a 3 week trip to have use of her laundry room and the kitchen was very well equipped. Maybe because of the weather the wi-fi was intermittant but we really enjoyed our stay in Rotorua.
