What a gem! I was looking for accommodation in Rotorua and this option stood out. This is one of my best stays in New Zealand so far, I was truly impressed with the quality of facilities. Everything is brand new, the room is nicely equipped with a kitchenette. Even though it doesn't have a stove, I discovered an air fryer in a cupboard! The beds are huge, the room is very spacious, Woolworths is just a 2min drive. Huge respect to the owners who did a fantastic job.

The house had pretty much everything in terms of amenities.It is in a very quite peaceful place. Though we had a little set back as owner wasn't aware of us coming but he settled this in a very quick and smooth manner. Its a home away from your home. It has books, board games, spacious rooms, nice outdoor sitting area. Its a shame we had to stay for only one night. Definitely recommend to those who are seaking some quiet time.

    It's very unassuming from the outside but inside is lovely. It was absolutely spotless. All the beds were comfortable and there's lots of space. Location is great. Raj was great to deal with and even posted my mum's glasses that she left ther.

    Friendly staff. Great location, parking on site, although there isn't a guaranteed space. Very clean. The top floor room facing carpark was good for a couple of nights. Budget motel. Small room, but it is equipped for a short stay.
