Guest Access:
You'll have the whole home to yourselves - both bedrooms, the bathroom, the lounge, the kitchen and dining, the separate laundry, and both decks with the fenced lawn. There's a wide driveway for off-street parking and a small shed for bikes (the garage isn't available for guests).
The Neighborhood:
Red Door 56 sits in Springfield, one of Rotorua's handy central-west suburbs - a relaxed, leafy spot that keeps you close to everything. Te Puia and the Whakarewarewa geothermal valley are just up the road, Kuirau Park's free steaming pools are a short drive, and the CBD, lakefront and Polynesian Spa are all close by. The Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest, one of New Zealand's best mountain-biking and walking destinations, is an easy ride away - a real draw for cyclists.
Getting Around:
A car is the easiest way to explore Rotorua, and the wide driveway gives you plenty of off-street parking. By car, Te Puia is about 3 minutes away, the Waiariki and Polynesian spas around 8, and Skyline, ZORB and Canopy Tours roughly 11. Rotorua Airport is about 14 minutes, and the Redwoods are an easy ride for those bringing bikes.
Other Things to Note:
A few things worth knowing: there are heat pumps in the lounge and the master bedroom to keep things comfortable year-round, and a small shed for storing bikes (the garage isn't available for guests). The home has two decks and a fully fenced lawn, and WiFi is available throughout.
