We spent 5 nights in Rotorua with our family of 5 (kids ages 7-12). This was our favourite accommodation on the trip. Spacious bedrooms with closets, 2 full bathrooms, separate washer and dryer with use of the garage. It’s in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood on the side of town but 10-20 minutes drive of most things. Super convenient. This place actually felt like a home! And we loved the extra desk in the living room. My only three minor bits of feedback for the owners would be I wish the windows and/or patio door had screens so we could enjoy the fresh air without bugs getting inside; I’d recommend some hooks in the entrance for hats/coats; and the fabric dining chairs were a struggle for our boys during meals. We had some old beach towels with us we used to protect from spills, etc. Overall, 10/10! Would absolutely recommend this VRBO. Thank you for hosting us (and my apologies for the one accidentally broken small bowl).
