Craig was an amazing host with exceptional communication skills, and attention to detail that made our stay here with our 5 kids feel like a second home. There was so much here for the kids, including the beautiful backyard (the arcade machine was a bonus for the biggest kid *cough*Dad*cough*). The house itself was clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, well appointed, and really comfortable. The beds and bedding were amazing. We were able to cook meals in the kitchen as if we were at home. It was also in a perfect location for our sight-seeing whilst in Rotorua - close to everything. We loved our stay here, and are so grateful to Craig for his amazing hospitality.

    Rotorua Forest Getaway is owned by thoughtful and caring owners . The kitchen appliances, utensils and supplies were one of the best amongst all our stays around NZ. They even provided high chairs, travel cots and baby tub which are ideal for families with babies / toddlers. It is clean and located at a quiet street, yet located at a conenient location. We'll definitely come again.

    Loved our stay. The bathrooms were so clean which gave me peace of mind having my children use the facilities. My kids had the best time with the Bouncy Castle, Heated pool, Playground and enjoyed the whole experience with the dinosaurs. The staff are all so friendly and most importantly we felt safe - a real family vibe. We have stayed at many other places in Rotorua but this is by far the best for families with younger children.
