    The Space:

    A sunny, comfortable three-bedroom family home in leafy Lynmore, set up as an easy, good-value Rotorua base - especially for families and biking groups. The open-plan living flows out to a wide, sunny deck with a private spa pool, outdoor seating and a BBQ, all overlooking the garden - a great spot to soak after a day on the trails. Downstairs there's a big under-house garage giving secure, dry storage for mountain bikes, e-bikes and gear, which our biking guests mention again and again. It's a clean, practical, well looked-after home - not a brand-new build, but comfortable and great value, and only minutes from the Redwoods.

    - LIVING AREA -

    Warm, comfortable open-plan living and dining with a well-equipped kitchen, opening out to the sunny deck with the spa pool and BBQ.



    - PARKING -

    Guest Access:

    You have the whole house and grounds to yourselves - all three bedrooms, the bathroom and separate toilet, the kitchen, living and dining areas, the sunny deck, garden and BBQ, and the under-house garage for your bikes. Self check-in via the key safe makes arrival easy whatever time you land, and there's free parking on the driveway and the street.



    The Neighborhood:

    Lynmore is one of Rotorua's most popular suburbs - quiet, leafy and safe, with the Whakarewarewa Redwood Forest right on the doorstep for mountain biking, running and forest walks. The Blue and Green Lakes (Tikitapu and Rotokakahi) are a short drive for a swim or a paddle, and the city centre, geothermal attractions and lakefront are all close by. Supermarkets (Woolworths and Pak'nSave), cafés and restaurants are just a few minutes away.



    Getting Around:

    A car is the easiest way to explore Rotorua's lakes and forest, and there's free parking on site and on the street. The Redwoods trailheads are about 4 minutes away - close enough to ride or walk to - the city centre and airport around 7 to 8 minutes, and Blue Lake and the Polynesian Spa about 9. There's a bus stop just around the corner on Lynmore Avenue.



    Other Things to Note:

    A few honest notes so you know what to expect: this is a comfortable, well looked-after family home rather than a brand-new build - clean, practical and good value. The third bedroom's bunks and pull-out are ideal for children, though we don't supply toys or games, so pack a few favourites for younger ones. Rotorua winters are cool, so bring warm layers for the evenings. The house is on a quiet residential street with neighbours close by, so please keep outdoor noise down after 10pm. Check-in is self-service via the key safe, and there are exterior-only security cameras on the property.

Excellent communication with the host and the property was clean and welcoming the spa was especially appreciated after a day cycling, and the location was perfect for our needs.

Nice stay close to the redwoods

We had a great stay overall at the house. Loved the hot tub, the fact that there were a washer and dryer, spaciousness, and kitchen necessities. Being able to run to the redwoods every day was awesome. However, be aware that if you choose to leave any of the windows open, it gets VERY buggy--I heard mosquitos and got bitten while in the house, and there were a few ants in the kitchen. Also, the floorboards on the upper level were extremely creaky. Not a problem for us as we're all heavy sleepers, but light sleepers might have an issue with it. Lastly, the bunk beds are positioned in a way such that you can't close the bedroom door--again, not a problem for our heavy sleeper children, but might not work for others.

Great value spot for the family

This place works super well for us. It’s nothing fancy but is close to the forest and has plenty of space for bikes as well as a spa pool!
