Rotorua Holiday
We really enjoyed the Penthouse apartment which had a fabulous view of the lake. The Air Conditioning was excellent as it was really hot when we stayed so made my parents and my Sheltie dog very comfortable. Beds were also comfortable and the balcony had a new BBQ which was welcome :) Would recommend A+

Excellent location and view
Great location and loved the spa pool on the deck with views over the steamy geothermal areas. Well presented bedrooms and lovely spacious lounge area. Kitchen a bit dated with not a lot of kitchen equipment but still very useable.

Great location! Next door to a cafe, steps from a bakery, easy walking to Eat Street and wonderful views. Enjoyed eating meals and spending time on the deck. The unit is a little tired and could use some TLC but overall, a nice stay.

Enjoyed two nights here with my wife and daughter. Place is clean and well appointed. Absolutely love the view of the lake from the deck. There is a nice little café less than 100 m away with good coffee and morning treats. Very close to all things Downtown.

Excellent Rotorua Location
Excellent Rotorua Location. Great View of Lake Rotorua from Balcony. Easy walking distance to Eat Streat. Generously sized living room/dining room and bedrooms. House has great ventilation with windows on three sides. Easy and pleasant communications with host/owner were very helpful. We stayed three nights and prepared breakfasts, lunches, and one dinner at home. Two things to point out: 1. I did not look at the "Pets" section of the listing, under which there was mention of "hiring linens." The host/owner was kind enough to contact me and point it out. For an extra NZ110, she arranged for bed linens and towels, which were fine. 2. This house is a bit rougher around the edges than depicted in the listing pictures. Despite its need for a little TLC, it is livable and suitable.

Great location and lovely view!
The location of this home is excellent! Easy walk to town and a neighborhood bakery and restaurant are only steps away. While overall the stay was great know that a few things are missing, like linens are not included. There is extra fee for that. This isn't published anywhere so we were surprised by the extra fee. The owner tried to advise us in advance but she didn't contact us through the portal so the email was missed. We did appreciate that she took the initiative to have the linens in place for us, but it would have been great if this was part of the property description so we knew before we booked. For some people having a dresser in the bedroom probably doesn't matter. I do like unpacking instead of living out of my suitcase. There are no dressers to store your clothes. She did have four luggage racks to use, so that was helpful. There is only one blow dryer and there was only one bottle of hand soap for the whole place. Other these these few things, everything else was great. The kitchen is stocked with dishes and appliances for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness wasn't the best, but it was fine. The owner was very responsive and was easy to communicate with. I would stay again, but knowing some of these things before I stayed would have been nice to know and that is why I am sharing here. Enjoy your stay! Rotorua is definitely worth the visit!

Great location although the neighbouring house isn't very nice and unfortunately the outlook from the spa isn't overlooking the lake...a few undesirable houses. Very nice though and the property itself is fantastic with 3 bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The only negative comment would be that the oven probably hasn't been cleaned for some time and to use it, we needed to open most of the doors and windows!
