About this property

Hotel quality stay in the heart of Rotorua with Spa

With a floor space of 172 sq. mt(1851 sq. ft) you will be spoiled for space in this peaceful retreat which is beautifully appointed - created for those who appreciate privacy and want spacious areas for relaxing, working or playing.

We only allow one party in the house at a time so when you book the place it will be all yours for the duration of your stay. This house is great for a large crowd. High Speed Wi-Fi access throughout the property.

This property offers two large bedrooms which are separated by a large kitchen and a deck. The huge space between the two bedrooms makes this an ideal accommodation for two couples or groups travelling together but appreciate their privacy and quiet time when on the go.

First Bedroom

This is an en-suite. It is has its own air conditioner/heat pump perfect for those chilly or hot nights. The room has one king size bed (which sleeps two), its own toilet and bathroom and a claw foot bath. The bed is made with linens which are rented from an award winning laundry so you will be sleeping on clean, crisps sheets. There is a 42 inch flat screen 3D Smart TV with Netflix. The room also has a large closet. In the closet are hangers, a hairdryer, an ironing board and an iron.

Second Bedroom

This room is larger in size and is situated near the main walk in bathroom and the second toilet. The room has one queen size bed (sleeps two). This bedroom also has a large closet and the room is large enough to accommodate 2 more guests if required. The front wall of this bedroom is made of a 4 Panel Stacker Double Glazed Glass Slider door and opens to the covered deck.

The Kitchen

Food is a huge deal when travelling. If you prefer to cook on the go, this house provides you with a “dream kitchen” to cook and entertain and bring everyone together. All pots, pans and crockery are provided. The kitchen has a 4 burner induction cook-top which does not heat the house when it is in use. The Kitchen also has an Oven, a full dishwasher (we provide dishwashing tablet and detergent as well) and a full Fridge/Freezer. Along with the hot water jug and the toaster, in the pantry you will find a rice cooker, a fast and slow cooker, a deep fryer, a coffee machine, coffee plungers, tea pot, electric frying pan, bread maker, tea, coffee, salt and sugar. If you wish to dine on the covered deck, a large sliding window in the kitchen opens to the deck which makes serving food a breeze.

The Dining Area

The dining area has a square dining table which sits 8, so the whole crowd can dine together.

The Lounge

The lounge has appealing high ceilings. It comes with a 3 seater and a 2 seater sofa. We also provide two bean bags for extra sitting. A 55 inch flat screen 3D Smart TV (with YouTube, Prime Video and Netflix) is fixed on the wall which can be viewed from the outside deck and the kitchen as well. The wall of the lounge is also made of a 4 Panel Glass Stacker Slider Door which opens to the covered deck with the in and out flow.

Deck

Probably the most attractive part of the house, the deck has high ceilings and walls on 3 sides and as has been mentioned several times, it is also conveniently covered. This makes the deck usable regardless of the weather. We provide an outdoor gas heater for those chilly nights – with a bottle of gas. The deck is furnished with a large coffee table and a 2 seater sofa and two single chairs. You will find the BBQ grill on the deck as well.

The Garage

The internal access single secured garage comes with plenty of storage for your bike and other gears in a secured garage.

The Laundry

Get your laundry done in the large laundry which comes with a front loading washing machine and a dryer.

This house is about 3.5 years old and is located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. The main city centre is about 5 minutes’ drive away or a 15-20 min walk. We are well located almost within 20 minutes of drive from all major tourists’ attractions. You can safely store all your sporting gear and your car in a secured single internal access garage.

No noise after 10 pm please.

Lovely Host. He came immediately when we were overenthusiastic with the electronic lock and reset it for us. Beautiful quiet location only a hundred metres from the lake and a kilometre or so from the city centre. The house was unexpectedly huge and very well set up. We will definitely stay again!

Easy drive to town & great for a group

The place was spacious enough and had enough dishes to host at least 6. The location was convenient and was a 5 minute drive into the town centre. We met the owner who was very nice and accomodating. The property was surface level clean and we still felt comfortable, but some areas could use a deep cleaning.

Comfortable and Spacious Stay

The bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen and living areas were comfortable and spacious. Great indoor/outdoor flow. Some minor maintenance needed - TV in one of the bedrooms was not working, one of the electric blankets was not working, there is an issue with the bedroom door closest to the entrance door. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Rotorua Stay

I meet the Host (Very nice person and would highly recommend). The accommodation was more than what I expected and would recommend it to my friends. Did not like the overall cost on my credit card as it was nearly $200.00 due to the exchange rate. I should have looked into it as it was not a NZ website so I had to pay more.

Not worth the price

When you click the address link it doesnt take you to the property. The actual street name isn't given to you so we had to drive around till we found something that looked like the pictures. Found it eventually but better instructions/an actual address would be appreciated Multiple cockroaches inside including inside the bedroom. Dirty spa - Bugs floating etc Bath in the bedroom/ensuite too dirty to want to use. Disappointed especially for the price.

Good Accommodation

We enjoyed our stay in this excellent accommodation which is situated in a quiet suburb of Rotorua. Everything we required was provided. Something that wasn't shown on the listing is that the accommomodtion is in close proximity to other homes on all four sides. The listing photographs don't make it clear that there is a property directly in front of this one. Outside the large cushion on the exterior seating was ripped along it's length with a towel placed to hide the foam which wasn't very inviting. One of the en suite floor tiles in the shower had multiple splits, so we didn't use it due to concerns about the sharps edges. As there were only two of us it wasn't an issue as we used the main bathroom shower which was excellent. I commented to the host who said he would address this ASAP.

About the host

Hosted by Dharmen

Host profile image
Originally from Canada, I came to New Zealand in 2007 to study law and have lived here ever since. I am an avid traveller myself and when I travel I love staying at Homes instead of hotels as I find that much more relaxing. Now, I am in a position to provide traveller who come to Rotorua with the same privilege hence my reason for becoming a host. My home is designed to provide a warm and relaxing environment for travellers and I will do whatever it takes to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This property is only 3 and 1/2 years old. It is more like a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, living room and a large covered deck. We also have a full laundry which has a front load washing machine and a clothes dryer too. This is a great substitute to staying in a place like Quest. The house is a about 5 minutes drive away from the city and the lake front. Kuirai Park (which is home for the city's Saturday market) is 3 mins drive away, Rotorua Hospital is 4 mins drive away, Skyline is 6 mins drive away and the Redwoods Forest and cycle way is about 10 mins drive away.

What makes this property unique

This is a service apartment type of accomodation except that we don't have daily house keeping and staff on site. Unlike a serviced apartment though, with a floor space of 172 square meters, this bungalow provides you ample space to work, play and relax.

It comes with a full size kitchen which is equiped with a 4 burner inducion cook top, 32 litre microwave oven, 551 litre fridge/freezer, a full size diswasher, all pots and pans, skillet, wok, deep fryer, slow and fast cooker, rice cooker, breadmaker, coffee maker, all cooking utensils, dinner sets, wine glasses, tea, coffee and sugar.

The bungalow has a large laundry which is equiped with a front load washing machine and a dryer.

Very pleasant patio, roofed, and surrounded on three sides by the house, so it is shady, quiet and peaceful.

We provide access to unlimited fibre internet. Netflix, Prime Video and access to Curiosity Channel as well. we have 2 smart 3d tvs in the house and one 3D blue ray player.
