We had a great time at Mark's house. Wish we had stayed longer. The house is like your own private den. Lots of trees hide the main road, the car entry is almost hidden. Fruit trees around the house. House is filled with books, there is also a computer if you want. Old fashioned DVD player - we enjoyed the Lord of the rings movie. Freshly brewed coffee, fresh baked bread daily is just a great wow factor. Very stylish, lovely for large groups and just a few mins to the Redwoods. Highly recommend for a stay in Rotorua.
