About this property

Central Kuirau Cottage with park views

This quirky 1930's cottage looks directly across to the open fields of Kuirau Park. Kuirau Park offers free Geothermal Attractions, thermal foot baths, beautiful gardens, childrens playground, open playing fields and is bordered by the Rotorua Aquatic Centre. The park is host to a busy Saturday morning local market. Plenty to enjoy here.

A short walk takes you to the City Centre, 'Eat Streat', shopping, restaurants, cafes, cinema and the lake front.

The cottage is tastefully furnished throughout and has the quirks and charms of an older building (creaking, sloping floors and all). The two good-sized bedrooms each boast Queen beds and the second bedroom provides a sofa bed for extra guests, a port-a-cot is stored on site.
The sunny living room is equipped with a smart TV, every room has its own heater to take the chill off any frosty mornings and fans to cool you down when the temperature rises.
The kitchen has a full sized stove/oven. Coffee, tea and some basic pantry items are provided

Special conditions:
There is a 2 night minimum stay - however if you wish to book for 1 night only a $25 fee will be added.

Our Rate per night is for up to 4 people, the cottage can sleep a maximum of 5 with the extra cost of $20 per person/per night (child under 12mths - no charge)

There is NO LAUNDRY on site but there are 2 Laundromats close by.
Off street parking for 1 vehicle with free street parking right out front

During the week a car grooming business operates from the workshop behind the house from 8.30am - 4.30pm. This creates no disturbance to the house but means the driveway beside the building needs to be kept clear during the hours of operation. The business is usually closed on week ends

EXTRAS:
Cleaning Fee NZ$65.00 per stay will be added; You will receive a payment request for this but we will give you the option to self clean. The cottage has all the products required. Let us know if you would like this option and we will remove the fee.

Linen charge will be added at NZ$45per stay for up to 4ppl plus an extra $10 if more guests are staying: We will send a payment request for linen but you can opt to supply your own sheets, pillowcases and towels - please confirm with us.
Extra Guests (max 2 extra guests) ( NZ$20.00 per person/ night)

This is our second stay. Our favourite place to book. Cosy, neat and so close to everything. The host is always helpful and ensures there’s enough basics in the pantry to help with the initial arrival. We love it here and all our memories that get made here. See you next year!

The location is great- walkable to eat street/downtown/shops in 15 mins and close to a park with thermal activity including a foot bath!Though a little outdated, the house had everything we needed and was very comfortable! The host was very communicative and kind and instructions were clear. Would recommend!

Deborah was a great host and the house is in a great location - easy walk to CBD and the lake. The house was as described....but the bed in the second room was not just soft, but sagging in the middle, and we had to remove the topper and sleep on that in the lounge. We had 4 nights so by the 4th night it was quite uncomfortable. If the mattress was decent I would have rated it 5 star.

The bed was comfortable even though it was on a lean. Shower was nice, charging extra to put bedsheets on is not nice. The photo didn't show an accurate description of age or proximity to business in shared driveway.

Very enjoyable

We loved how close this was to Kuirau Park and the thermal area, so easy to get around, and the house is cosy with a heater in every room! We decided to stay an extra night because we liked it so much and the host was really easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. We will be back!
