The view from Phil's place is stunning. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved being able to feed the goats and think this was probably the most comfortable bed we had during our time in NZ. Phil was very helpful and knowledgeable. He greeted us when we arrived, showed us through the house, gave us his number if we had any issues, and offered suggestions of different activities in the area. We would definitely recommend and return to Phil's place if ever in Rotorua in the future.
