Paradise in Rotorua

Great stay. Perfect for our intergenerational family, plenty of room and excellent facilities

Awesome tidy location. Great big house for our family. Lovely pool area. And warm too. This home has such a cool vibe about it. Close to the city.

Nothing. The property was perfect for our stay.

Plenty of cutlery and crockery and a nice kitchen. New appliances. The mattresses were lovely. Location is great.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights the first week of January 2025. The pictures of this house do not reflect the reality. The first picture advertised for this property is the pool - the unique selling point or in our case, reason why we booked this property as we had 3 kids with us who love to swim as well as 7 adults! Unfortunately upon arrival on the first night of our stay, we had planned to use the lovely advertised pool only to find 2 barbecued sausages floating in the pool, a bbq tongs left on the bottom of the pool along with a couple of bacon pieces. We called the landlady to inform her, she apologised but made no effort to rectify the situation e.g to come take a look for herself, to get it cleaned. She just said “it was cleaned yesterday and we didn’t see any of those things”, which in a way is making you out to be a liar. (See pictures attached) We stayed at this property for 3 nights, we would have loved to have used the pool on all nights but we refused to swim in that!The bad points, apart from the already infamous pool; The pillows in each room were bad. The sofa bed is broken. The downstairs shower is very small, not fit for adult size. The blinds are in dire need of replacing. The bbq was left greasy and uncleaned, even a fish head left on the ground right beside it. (See pic attached) Again, enough of a reason not to use it. A disappointing 3 nights’ stay which cost a lot of money and I can safely say, we won’t be staying here again.

Great location - close to all the main attractions in Rotorua. Large property perfect for large groups. Lots of off street parking. Garden and balcony access was lovely.

Unfortunately the property no longer looks like the photos - it is very tired and clearly well used. A tired property is one thing, however you would still expect it to be clean, which unfortunately the property was not. On arrival large cobwebs were hanging from the ceiling, mouldy food left in the kitchen sink, dirt was left around the kitchen sink and floors, all surfaces were sticky to touch. The blinds in the kitchen also had a thick layer of grease and dirt on them. Cutlery and plates needed to be cleaned before use and an oven tray still had grease marks from previous guests' cooking on them. The pool would have been lovely too enjoy in the hot weather however there was also cans left in the garden from previous guests and the pool water itself was dirty - a few leaves and bugs from the garden would be expected but clumps of dirt and hair floating in the water didn't exactly make the water inviting. The oven was not heating properly, taking over 2 hours to oven cook some vegetables leaving us to scrape together a meal on the hob late at night - quite an inconvenience when a member of our party was preparing for an important athletic competition in the coming days where meal times and food preparation was essential - the property was booked expecting a fully functioning kitchen for home prepared meals could be made. The bedrooms were alright - beds had obviously been well used, only one thin pillow was provided on each bed. Some curtains were also a bit broken. I contact the host on the first evening of our stay expressing our concerns of cleanliness and the oven not working, with photos forwarded to the host - I was told this would be looked into, however nearly a week later, a reply has still not been received, only an automated message received asking for a review. Overall a very disappointing stay.

Thank you for haveing us was warm an homely Beautiful stay check in was smooth loved it😊

Great location with main attractions being between 7-15mins away. Excellent communication and understanding of our needs from the host Peter. Loved it! Wish we would have stayed longer. This is honestly great value for money especially if you have a big family with kids. With the heated-salt pool and a TV upstairs and downstairs to keep everyone in the house happy. Modern kitchen and laundry facilities. Highly recommend staying here. The photos don't really do it justice and I was too busy adventuring to take any good ones(without us in them) .
