Stay at 3a Pretoria, Rotorua

Located on a quiet street this is well appointed home with everything you need for an extremely comfortable and convenient stay. It's on the south-side of town, just round the corner from the mall which leads onto the entertainment district. Easy access to the airport and routes out of town, especially south towards Taupo. Communication with Lorryl was very easy and check-in was idiot-proof.

This was a really nice house, perfect for what we needed (in town for a swimming comp). 10 minute walk from Kuirau park and Rotorua pools. Very clear instructions and communications from Kevin and Lorryl. Off street parking was easy as with our SUV. Definitely recommend for the quiet neighborhood and relaxed atmosphere as an alternative to the camps or holiday parks if staying in Rotorua!

Overall a really comfortable and pleasant stay.Unit was lovely and warm when we arrived and retained heat well for the NZ early spring stay. Beds comfy and everything we needed to look after ourselves.Lock box was a bit fiddly. But it was raining we arrived and we were frantic to get in Quiet and secure neighborhood.Our small Honda fit managed the grass patch and wood gates for patking. A larger car wld need to be parked on the street.

Loved this VRBO

Everything was just as presented. The house was clean and well stocked. Perfect location. Lorryl has done a great job at facilitating one’s stay. The bed was comfy, kitchen well stocked, shower pressure great. We used the aircon just a few times to cool the house down as it was unusually humid during our 5 day stay. Rotorua has lots to offer. We enjoyed Kerosene Creek, Te Puia, river rafting, Zorb’ing, Orakei Korkado (sp?), and more.
