I loved the property - was spacious and the furnishings were really well-maintained. Tayla was very welcoming and was a wonderful host especially since I was doing a longer stay! If there were any problem, they were fixed so quickly and they helped in any way they could which I really appreciated it. Would come back to stay next time I go to Rotorua :)

House was perfect for us, Tayla was a great host from start to finish. House had everything we needed and was in a great central location and close to everything rotorua has to offer. Only small downfall was there is no laundry, but there is a good laundromat on 5mins drive diwn the road. I highly recommend, and would stay again

We had a lovely stay, such a cosy home with loads of space indoors and out. So much better than a hotel for a family or group! Lovely owner, will most definitely be back. Kia ora☺️
