We booked Fairway Cottage for just one night, but as soon as we arrived, it felt like home. The cozy atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and thoughtful amenities made it so easy to settle in. We ended up extending our stay for another day because we simply didn’t want to leave! The location is also very convenient, with easy access to many of Rotorua's top attractions. And also owner of the property is incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to our stay. It’s truly an amazing place, offering both comfort and charm. The value for money is exceptional, a must-stay if you’re tripping in Rotorua!

Just so light, airy and spacious,being greeted by Grant and the cat and the dog. You are overlooking glorious countryside and serenaded by bird song. I couldn't get over that we had a living room, kitchen area, decking, outdoor baths and the tented bedroom all to ourselves. I thought we might have to share a kitchen and BBQ but you don't. There's an open log fire and marshmallows to toast. We really wished we'd booked another night. You need to bring something to eat/ BBQ ideally. Then hunker down on the sofa - and there's everything you need..

The house had pretty much everything in terms of amenities.It is in a very quite peaceful place. Though we had a little set back as owner wasn't aware of us coming but he settled this in a very quick and smooth manner. Its a home away from your home. It has books, board games, spacious rooms, nice outdoor sitting area. Its a shame we had to stay for only one night. Definitely recommend to those who are seaking some quiet time.

Donna met us on arrival and explained our room and what’s on. The room was self contained and ample. The kitchen was very well stocked, and there were lots of fresh goods in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom excellent. An outstanding experience. Recommended to all. Thank you.

    Friendly staff. Great location, parking on site, although there isn't a guaranteed space. Very clean. The top floor room facing carpark was good for a couple of nights. Budget motel. Small room, but it is equipped for a short stay.
