We had a lovely time at Gavin and Rena’s! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and share their home with us and even took the time to drive us out into the paddocks and introduce our kids to the sweet cows and sheep on the farm.
They aren’t kidding though about the concrete floors. Pack your slippers! We found the driveway initially challenging to get up with our Mazda Premacy, but we soon learned the tricks to navigating it without any trouble.
That said, the view was AMAZING, the location extremely convenient (you can easily bike to the redwoods MTB trails), the beds are cosy and warm with plenty of blankets and pillows, the bathrooms are luxurious with huge spa tubs, and everything was extremely neat and tidy. An added bonus is that the farm is high enough on the hill that you can escape Rotorua’s classic scent. 😊
