Myself, Lauren & Sam live in the Main house and may or may not be home on your arrival, however, we use a pin code lockbox at the apartment to allow you to arrive at any time after your arranged Check-in time.

We hope to have the pleasure of meeting you, share our local tips, recommendations & hear about your travels!
We are both from Rotorua originally so are very knowledgeable about Rotorua & its surrounding area.

As we run several of our own properties as Air BnB accommodation, we have invested time in setting up a virtual Map of the area with all of our “Favorite things to do & see” that we will simply send through for you to explore on your own device!

We have Taxi's & Uber here in Rotorua or many of the main tourism operators have pick-up shuttles available. Alternatively, you can walk the surrounding trails or follow the Green Corridor on our Bikes all the way from our village, through the City gardens & onto the Redwoods forest & more.
