Wonderful stay in peaceful surroundings with a great view down into Rotorua. Close enough with a car to all the local attractions but far enough away from the busy town centre. Lovely breakfast, very comfortable room and even managed to find time for the hot tub! Would highly recommend!

The cottage we stayed is fully equipped with everything we need and has a beautiful view overlooking the city of Rotorua. We loved that we could feed the Alpancas everyday. The location is handy away from the city but handy to get around. Our hosts David and Grace were very friendly and hospitable, and made us feel very welcomed when we first arrived. We enjoyed our stay and would sray there again when we next visit Rotorua

lovely place to stay
We stayed in a separate cottage that was well organized , extremely clean and comfortable. There were many extra touches , such as robes, Beach towels, barbecue, food for breakfast, maps and things to do in the area. We hosts were very helpful. There is a lovely hot tub to use. The accommodation is about a 15minute drive to the centre of town. Great place to stay.

Perfect Place to Stay
We highly recommend a stay here. The cottage included several thoughtful touches - the hosts have clearly put a lot of thought into making sure everything a traveler might need was in the cottage and made us feel welcome and provided lots of info about the area. It was a sleemless check in...Perfect location for those with a car up on the hill with stunning views and a hot tub and alpacas!!

Upscale B&B in Rotoroa
Very upscale B&B home with lovely views of the Rotoroa valley & city. Immaculate rooms with nice breakfasts too. David & Grace gave us great activity recommendations & helped book a dinner event, as well. They were extremely friendly & professional. Bonus: 5 adorable alpacas nearby, to feed, pet & take photos. We’d return!
