Awesome place to stay; quiet yet in close proximity to Redwoods and town. Probably better suited to 4 rather than 5 people unless some are very small.

Surprisingly wonderful

We had a wonderful time- close to the adventures galore within the Redwoods, geothermal activity and also Blue Lake. Also not far from the CBD. The accommodation was well thought out and catered for all our needs with the added, but important, bonus of super comfy beds and linen. The hosts were warm and welcoming but private too! We were surprised at how much better the property was in reality compared to online… which was a fabulous surprise! Would recommend to anyone and definitely stay again! Thanks!

Had everything we needed in a great location, really tidy, pleasant space. Kind and welcoming host. Appreciated the extra touches, like having salt, pepper, salad dressing and even fresh fruit on arrival. Only thing is I’d recommend for a shorter stay or if you’re planning to mostly eat out (which we did), as the kitchen is tiny.

Comforts of a home and close to everything!

Loved our stay here! We enjoyed having the comforts of a home during our travels. The unit is attached to the host’s house, but is very private with your own entry. Even so, the host Anu is lovely, so no worries at all. All of the Rotorua attractions are within a 10 minutes drive and the Redwoods and some restaurants are in walking distance. Cozy spot in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a couples or family getaway :)

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. We were a little shocked at the advertised dryer being a clothes line. However it did not impede our stay. House was lovely overall and we would come back.

About the host

Hosted by Anu Weir

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 with my wife originating in Finland and myself from Central Otago. We have 3 boys (10, 8 and 2), a dog (Boston - recently adopted super laid-back and non barking puppy) and a cat (Coco).

We own a tourism business and love to meet new people and show them what a wonderful place Rotorua and NZ is to visit.

Why they chose this property

From the moment we stepped into our house, we could see the potential. We both love industrial 'New York loft' design and could see the many possibilities we had when converting the old garage into an open plan living room/kitchen/dining. The section is nice and secure and private for our small and busy family. We love the safe and quiet neighborhood. And lastly, location of the house couldn't be better for us. Redwoods forest which is only 100 metres away is one of our favourite spots to visit and we do this daily. Rotorua city centre and five stunning lakes (+ majestic Mt Tarawera) are also only a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is new and decorated to the style that we like which is industrial and modern. The apartment is fully insulated and it has a big radiator heater to keep guests warm during colder winter months. The location of this apartment is so well positioned close to the Redwoods, town and lakes.
