When I planned my stay in Rotorua I specifically decided to stay away from down town, and Siew-Bek's place didn't disappoint me.
First of all, Siew-Bek's such a great host. She prepared bread and milk based on my preference she asked me in advance of my check-in. That's a very nice touch that's relatively easy to do, but only the top 5% to 10% of Aribnb hosts would do it. Another icing on the top was the comprehensive recommendations of what to do (free vs paid activities) and what to eat around Rotorua. My hang-about in Rotorua was almost entirely based on Siew-Bek's recommendations.
The place has a nice view of Lake Okareka. People seem to really enjoy water sports there (It's only 2mins drive from the flat, and I've seen wakeboarding, stand-up paddling, kayaking just one morning). Lake Tikitapu aka Blue Lake is just 5mins away and I enjoyed the swim there.
Check-in was easy and straightforward. Place's very clean and comfortable. Would strongly recommend this place to everyone going to Rotorua (with an unfortunate exception of those who need wheelchair accessibility, as the listing is located on 1st floor reachable only by stairs).
