One of the best kept, comfortable places we have been. Warm welcoming host with special welcome gifts of homemade quince jam, homemade honey and beeswax wraps. The setting is suburban with lots of land around with fruit trees, quail and ducks in the area and horses in the field beyond a hedge of roses. Altogether a lovely experience.

Lovely, clean and well appointed cottage on beautiful grounds and conveniently located to restaurants and activities. We loved looking at the horses behind the cottage. Communication with Beatrice was always prompt and thorough. She personally greeted us upon arrival and what a pleasure to find a variety of homemade treats awaiting us in the cottage. I would highly recommend a stay at Rita’s Cottage for a visit to the Rotorua area.

Wow, this place is awesome, so welcoming. Peaceful, quiet and only a short walk to the beach, can’t recommend enough..

This cottage was comfortable and very well equipped for our stay in Rotorua. The host was very welcoming and communicative. The private deck and patio areas were a great feature- we loved listening to the birds and watching the horses next door.We stayed during a very hot week- the air conditioner and the screens on the windows were a huge help. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need, including basic cooking oil, spices, coffee, sugar, etc.
