Rotorua City Homestay Guestbook

Leanne USA. - 2018

I had such a lovely stay at Rotorua City Home Stay! I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone who wishes to feel they've found a home away from home. I visited Rotorua City Homestay on my first international solo trip, and it was nice to be in the company of other travelers as well as my gracious hosts. The accommodations are very comfortable, stylish, spacious and spotlessly clean. Peter and Mike go out of their way to be helpful in planning activities and even provide some local transportation, which was much appreciated. The breakfasts were generous in size and absolutely delicious! My only "complaint" is that I wish I had booked a longer stay.

Gary USA. - 2018

Excellent hosts and wonderful breakfast in a great location!
Mike and Peter are wonderful hosts. The breakfast they provide is wonderful. They helped us find our way around the area and gave us some very wonderful tips for our travel.

Del GB. - 2018

A great B and B in a great location!
We could fault nothing about this home stay. Peter booked tours for us and helped us plan our stay. Mike cooked a great breakfast.. They were both pleasant, entertaining hosts. Our room was comfortable and had the most amazingly silent ceiling fan!

Michelle USA. - 2018

Our hosts were very helpful about places to visit, with discount coupons for many of them. The breakfasts were wonderful, true English "brekky", with lively conversation. Didn't use the hot tub, but it is a great amenity. Did sit out in the garden and enjoy the sunshine. Room was large enough for three people (as advertised), but guests from the US should know that the whole place is "cozy" by our standards. Location across the street from a park with free thermal features was convenient, and a short walk into town.

Sarah GB. - 2018

Super hosts who had a concern for detail and who were knowledgeable and helpful about how to get the most out of our time in Rotarua. Good location.

I have never stayed at a real b n b and this one set the standard. Peter and mike made great suggestions on what to do as well as made some reservations for me. Very knowledgable and great breakfast!

Hilary & Mark Auckland, New Zealand. - 2015

Mike & Peter were great! very friendly & welcoming. I wasn't well when we arrived so went pretty much went straight to bed but Mark stayed up chatting away for hours. Their home was super warm and cozy on arrival. Bed was really comfortable and the room spacious. Breakfast was fantastic and a great start to the day.
It was really easy to find & Mike and Peter were wonderful hosts.
Keep doing what they are doing but maybe promote the fact that they can cater for mt bikers - one of the rooms has access from the back yard where people can easily clean their bikes & lock them in the yard before heading indoors.

Steve and Amy Los Angeles, USA. - 2015

Mike & Peter were wonderful hosts with much knowledge of the area. Wife & I staying the suite with in-room bathroom and felt very comfortable. We only had two days, but our hosts were very keen on assisting us with our daily itinerary which was quite helpful to allow us the most opportunity to experience the area. Their B&B is conveniently located in the heart of Rotorua and almost everything in town is walkable.

Gavin Auckland. - 2015

Celestar Malaysia.

Had a wonderful stay here. It was like staying with family. Mike and Peter were awesome. They made sure I was comfortable and gave me amazing insight into Rotorua and picked out the best package for me to have a great time there. Breakfast was superb.
Their attention to details is amazing and the place is spotless. Way much better than staying in a hotel.

Ken and Elena Chicargo, USA.

Mike and Peter were very nice and provided great guest service and recommendations for visiting Rotorua/New Zealand. The room was as close to a hotel experience as I have encountered.

Hillary and Mark Auckland, New Zealand.

Mike & Peter were great! very friendly & welcoming. I wasn't well when we arrived so went pretty much went straight to bed but Mark stayed up chatting away for hours. Their home was super warm and cozy on arrival. Bed was really comfortable and the room spacious. Breakfast was fantastic and a great start to the day.
What Hilary thought you could improve about the experience:
Keep doing what they are doing but maybe promote the fact that they can cater for mt bikers - one of the rooms has access from the back yard where people can easily clean their bikes & lock them in the yard before heading indoors.

Alex Sheffield, UK.

Mike & Peter are extremely thoughtful and welcoming hosts. the room had everything I needed and was very comfortable. Mike & Peter's advice and tips on how to get the most from the sights I wanted to visit was fantastic and really helped me make the most of my time in the area. The discount vouchers were especially welcome! Loved the way we had breakfast and a chat all together each morning - great friendly start to the day. Thanks guys!
Your advice on my itinerary was particularly helpful and I liked the 'hotel' elements of the room like the fridge and the snacks to purchase.

David and Rachelle Los Angeles, USA.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was a central location and they were very knowledgable of the area with a wall of brochures and coupons. The breakfast was extremely delicious every morning and it was a great experience getting to know Mike and Peter. The amenities were also impressive, as it was stocked like a hotel.

Jeni Surry, UK.

Wish I could have stayed longer! Thank you both for all advice, both prior and on visit. Kia-Ora.

Helmut and Ingrid Germany.

Thanks for the hospitality. We enjoyed it very much. Want to come back to rotorua.

Irene and Jillian Australia.

This was my first stay on an AirBnB home stay and I must say, Mike and Peter set the bar high! What a great set up. Neat, tidy, full with all necessities/mod cons. It was their attention to detail that got me. Right down to the professional shampoo/soap dispenser in the bathroom, the little night light left on in the hallway for you at night and their towels neatly stacked up outside if you wanted to use the spa. Their place is right across the road from a cute park that has the 'stink holes' in it! If you don't have time to go out to do the tourist thing, then just take a wander over for a small sample of what Rotorua has to offer. Thanks for a comfortable stay. Recommend.

Stefanie asnd Martin Austria.

Very nice place to stay. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for an exciting stay and for making us breakfast so early in the morning and making the bookins and restaurant recommendations. It was a great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mike and Pete's place - they have created a fantastic B&B which is homely and spotlessly clean whilst having a very central location. Having breakfasts with our hosts and other guests was a highlight. Mike and Pete went out of their way to help us maximize our time in Rotorua which we really appreciated, and their advice made a big difference. Thanks so much guys!

(I had a pleasant stay with Mike and Peter. The hosts were hospitable and gave me great tips on what I should do in Rotorua. Highly recommended)

Katharina & Jens Langenhagen, Germany. - 2015

Mike und Peter haben mich sofort nach der Buchung kontaktiert und mich in Bezug auf die touristischen Attraktionen beraten. So konnte ich unseren Aufenthalt optimal planen. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und Peter und Mike haben uns nochmal einen persönlichen Eindruck von den verschiedenen Aktivitäten vermittelt. Denn sie haben fast alles selbst ausprobiert. Mike hat auch alle Buchungen für uns vorgenommen und konnte für jede Aktivität einen Gutschein für einen Preisnachlass anbieten. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichhaltig und wird vorzugsweise gemeinsam eingenommen, sodass sich angenehme und interessante Gespräche mit den Gastgebern und anderen Gästen ergeben. Diese besonders persönliche Betreuung mit viel Liebe zum Detail hat sich durch unseren ganzen Aufenthalt gezogen. Für alle, die wie wir gerne mit ihren Gastgebern in Kontakt treten und an einem Austausch interessiert sind, ist dies die ideale Unterkunft. Und gerade, wenn man seine Reise von weit weg aus plant, ist die Beratung im Vorfeld sehr hilfreich.
(Mike and Peter have contacted me immediately after booking and advise me in terms of tourist attractions. So I could plan our stay perfect. We were greeted warmly and Peter and Mike again gives us a personal impression of the different activities. Because they have tried almost everything. Mike has made all bookings for us and was able to offer a coupon for a discount for each activity. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful and is preferably taken together, so there are pleasant and interesting conversations with the hosts and other guests. This very personal service with attention to detail has been pulled through our whole stay. For those who are like us like to get in touch with their hosts and interested in an exchange, this is the ideal accommodation. And just when to plan your trip far away from that preliminary consultation is very helpful.)

The homestay is a ten minute walk from town. They were kind enough to pick me up from the airport and show me around town on the way. Peter also dropped me to the bus station. We had a lovely breakfast and they have tons of tips and suggestions about what to do in Rotorua. I would highly recommend this home.

I wish I had stayed in rotorua longer and definitely at Mike and Peter's homestay B&B. The place was definitely exactly what the description was on the web. Their website has tons of useful information for you to research prior to arrival. Once arrive. Mike and Peter proved themselves extremely knowledgeable of what to do. Within minutes, they figured out exactly what I should do in my limited time there. They are warm and accommodating to the max. The breakfast was definitely hearty. Thanks guys! I would totally stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Peter and Mike were very helpful during my stay: not only did they pick me up/drop me off from the bus stop, they happily recommended things to do and booked them for me (often with a discount), making my time with them hassle free. Mike and Peter were flexible as well, kindly allowing me to hang about their BnB until my late night bus. The room itself was as described: very comfy and spacious. Breakfast was also excellent: cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast and a full cooked meal were provided. Location is an easy five minute walk to the centre of town and restaurants. If you're in Rotorua, don't miss this delightful BnB!

Steven and Tamara Oregon, USA. - 2014

My wife and I spent 3 and a half weeks in NZ visiting both the north and south Island. Our best stay was with Mike and Peter. Best service, best company, best breakfast (real fruit and yummy eggs). They helped us plan our days so that we were able to get the most out of our time there. They have great relationships with local vendors that resulting in some discounts for us, and their location is close to town. We have never posted on TripAdvisor before but felt like this particular homestay deserved some attention. Stay there. Its a good value and lots of fun.

Tim and Andrew Sydney, Australia. - 2014

We were very happy with our stay. Mike & Peter are friendly, knowledgable, welcoming and do a great breakfast! The home is handy to everything and has a nice outdoor area including a spa.

Neil & Holger Munich, Germany. - 2014

This home-stay is located just a few minutes walk from Rotorua city centre and close to many shops, bars and restaurants. Our room was nicely-decorated room with ensuite, sliding door to garden and spa areas, comprehensive tea/coffee/snacks and a well-stocked refrigerator including fresh milk, beer, wines and water.
Hosts Mike and Peter are extremely knowledgable about what to see and do in the local area and are keen to ensure you make the most of your Rotorua stay.
The garden and spa areas are very well designed and maintained, completely private and the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a busy sightseeing schedule.
The breakfasts each morning offered fresh fruits, juices and cereals and also a cooked breakfast which was completely different each morning. We really appreciated the in-room guest folder full of city information and a comprehensive selection of local restaurant menu’s and prices.
We booked for 2 nights and had such a good time that we extended for an extra day. Lots of ‘attention to detail’ here. A top-quality experience which we intend to repeat!
Don’t miss the large open park directly opposite containing some interesting thermal activity - steam bores, bubbling mud-holes and soothing foot spas.

Sal, Nancy & John New York, USA. - 2014

I had a great time and got a lot out of this stay thanks to their great planning. The room was very nice, comfy and clean. The location was perfect. And breakfast delicious.

Without any doubt, an absolute highlight of my stay in The North Island. Peter and Mike are charming and immensely gracious hosts, who immediately got to work arranging a brilliant itinerary for my stay in Rotorua. Their home is tastefully decorated, and the spa pool was an absolute treat after a long days driving. The bedroom was elegant, with beautiful linen on an incredibly comfortable bed. With a great breakfast to start you on your day. I highly recommend this B&B treat in Rotorua! Thanks again guys! :)

Mike & Peter deserve to do well,in their new venture. The quality of their accomodation, the service they provide, is of a high professional standard.

I would recommend to any business associate as a must stay, and will definately be coming again. ★★★★★
