It is central to where I needed to be, it has a great view. Dale and Annie are really friendly and they make you feel at home. Bed was really comfortable. Room temperature was perfect during the night. I enjoyed every moment I was there.. oh and breakfast was just as I like it. Nothing bad to add.

Fabulous stay in Rotorua
We had a fabulous stay at Rotorua Views. Fabulous hosts that made us feel very welcome! We stayed in the 2brm self-catered apartment, that was spotlessly clean and had everything that you need for a fabulous stay. 5min drive from town with views over Lake Rotorua. Loved it! Would definitely stay again the next time we go to Rotorua

Outstanding Property and Gracious Hosts
This is an amazing place to stay; book it now! Annie and Dale are the perfect hosts: kind, accommodating, and gracious. They love their city and are most happy to share all about it with interested guests. Not only are the suites nicely appointed and super comfortable, they have view balconies to enjoy. Breakfast is included, cooked to order by Annie and Dale, and delicious. We loved our stay here and think you will too!

Thanks for this, Pam. Really appreciate the detailed review and your kind words. It was lovely to meet you both. By the way, I just read about a book called 'Singing the Trail, The Story of New Zealand mapping' by John McCrystal. It's the story of NZ though its maps with accounts of the explorers who created them. Sounded like something Don might like! All the best, Annie & Dale

My husband and I had lovely stay here. Annie and Dale are fantastic hosts. Not only are they lovely and hospitable but they also know a lot about all the things Rotorua has to offer which is great. They were very informative and gave us heaps of advice things to do, places to eat,and more. Beautiful house on a quiet street, fantastic views. Our room was just perfect, we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. On top of this breakfast was amazing! 100% recommended

A Perfect Retreat❣️
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this B&B❣️ The host & hostess were incredibly gracious & hospitable❣️ The breakfast was amazing with several choices to satisfy anyone’s pallet❣️ The bed was comfy, and the shower was awesome with great water pressure❣️ What we liked most, though, was the quiet, peaceful atmosphere❣️ We would definitely return if we ever are in Rotorua again❣️

Lovely B&B with stunning views by lovely people.
WOW! What a fantastic place Annie and Dale have. Such a shame that our schedule only allowed us to stay for the one night. The quality of accomodation and amenities provided would have made it perfect for spending a couple of weeks with them and their relaxed, informative attitude would have made it a fun packed 2 weeks for sure. Many thanks guys. All the best, Clive, Jason and Darren.

Excellent stay and thoroughly recommended.
We stayed at the Rotorua Views BnB and Apartment for four nights and out of the eleven different stays we had while touring New Zealand this was the cleanest and the hosts Annie and Dale the most accommodating and helpful. Great stay and thoroughly appreciated by the entire family.

A modern BnB with a personal touch
This BnB is by far the best accommodation experience rotorua has to offer. Annie and Dale made us feel very welcome, they were never short on ideas of things Rotorua has to offer and they went above and beyond for us the entire time we stayed with them. Breakfast was faultless and the coffee really is the best in Rotorua. The views were spectacular and we really can't express how much we enjoyed our time staying with Annie and Dale

HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Welcoming & comforting place to stay in a lovely quiet area of Rotorua. The near new apartment was perfect for our recent visit to catch up with relatives. Only minutes away by car to local supermarket and a short distance further to the lake and town centre. Annie & Dale were very welcoming and hospitable.
