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)

Rotorua retro reflections having stayed in other places
Compared to similar properties stayed in it had not been updated. Chairs in kitchen were upended on the table. Lounge lacked comfort. Bathroom fittings flimsy and floorboards in hall way disturbed others in the night. Beds clean and comfortable.

Rotorua Getaway
Accomodation meets all your basic needs so long as you are aware this is an older house with plenty of quirks. Everything you need is there for a short stay. Handy location to get in to the centre.We opted to supply our own linen and to clean the property upon leaving - a nice option to save on cost. Would happily stay again if we head this direction.

Disappointed
Location was excellent with close proximity to central Rotorua, and beautiful park. Bathroom was good, but standard of kitchen, crockery and cutlery was poor. Towels did need replacing. Some upgrading of the cottage and property is necessary.

A Comfortable Stay
I've stayed here a few time now and can't complain about anything. A nice cozy older house with a few squeaks. Beds are comfortable, kitchen's good and has most things, and is located close to CBD. All in all, a good value stay.

Old but comfortable
This is my second stay at this property, and I must say this house definitely grows on you. We had a very comfortable stay, the beds are comfortable, Kitchens has adequate facilities, Decent size lounge & bathroom. There is even a heater in every room, so very cozy. The floors do squeak, but not a problem for us. Glen

In the mid 1980's as newly weds we moved to Rotorua. All our children were born & raised here so as a family we have enjoyed the lakes, forest, outdoor activities and many events that this great little city has to offer
