    We love everything about this home. The check-in was smooth. The owner is easily-contactable although we did not get a chance to meet him in person as we were always in a rush. We had homemade, warm bread and butter for our breakfast, which tasted...

    Lovely stay at Colin and Amanda's place. We were only here one night, but slept great and had everything we needed. Very comfortable sofa, mini fridge, smart tv. Great hosts that are super responsive and were willing to chat, but not intrusive.

    Great location, very quiet, the owners were fantastic telling us good places to visit and baking us a loaf of bread for breakfast. Highest recommendation for anyone staying in Rotorua.

We offer the approximately 50m2 ground floor area of our home. This space consists of a lounge area incorporating a kitchenette and dinette area, there is a bedroom with a double bed, another bedroom with a single bed, and a bathroom. The comfortable sofa bed in the lounge area sleeps 2. There is a small covered outdoor setting, and convenient car parking. Our space is nothing fancy, but it is well equipped, warm in winter, cool in summer, relaxed and comfortable.
We are a middle aged couple with a bit of an empty nest, only the youngest one of our four boys is still at home. We are keen waterskiers and also enjoy getting away in our caravan. We have a few chickens which are a bit of fun, and we are trying to develop good vegetable gardens also. Amanda is the Regional Manager for a property management firm, and Colin is involved in Plumbing and property maintenance type work. When you stay with us we want you to feel like you are staying with “friends of friends”.
The area we live in is pretty ordinary by NZ standards. It’s a fairly normal 1980’s era well established neighbourhood that is generally pretty quiet. Rotorua is a fairly compact place so we are still conveniently located to most of Rotorua’s attractions and activities.
