We stayed a night at Jessica's place and we loved it.
We appreciate the small notes left inside the house and we enjoyed the beers offered to us. The place is located out of Rotorua town (15 minute drive) and 2 minutes walk to Lake Okareka. The lake is very serene and tranquil place with the picturesque background of the cattle grazing on the hills nearby.
The hosts were nice people and we could see the effort they put in for the comfort of the wearied travelers as there were fruits and snacks. We were made to feel at home immediately and experienced the warmness of NZ people. We would rate this place 10 out 10.
