We were in the private house so it was very nice and cozy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John, Auckland Jul 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### More than expected Walking into something without too much expectations, my partner and i where very surprised. So nice to be greated like old friends who haven't seen each other in ages! The views, tiny gym, sauna, spa, comfy beds and you have to feed the alpacas! Was a real nice change to be JUST out of town (Just a couple of kms). Home made breakfast with a country touch was a sad reality that we had to leave that day. Will be back but not soon enough. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is the best place to stay in Rotorua. The hosts Leigh and Angie are so warm and welcoming. You will experience true hospitality here. Their homemade breakfast that we enjoyed here each morning was delicious, healthy and filling. It is the perfect to start your sightseeing day. The homemade blueberry muffins and zucchini bread were delicious and comforting. The homemade plum jam, grapefruit marmalade, lemon curd, peanut butter, and muesli were delectable as well. Our room was extremely clean, comfortable and luxurious. This really felt like our home away from home. Angie and Leigh gave us extremely valuable tips on when and where to best see the sites. I think we made the most of our 2 days here because of Angie and Leigh’s recommendations. When we visit Rotorua again, we will certainly stay here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence Feb 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great option in Rotarua A comfortable stay in a well- decorated house. Lots of lounging space, a spa, views, excellent breakfast. ##### Lawrence Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronika, Germany Aug 23, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best choice! Beautiful view, a very comfortable room, very hospitable, friendly and helpful owners, and a great breakfast with home made jams - our choice of a hotel in Rotorua couldn't be better. We were warned about the Rotorua smells, but at this location we were at a perfect distance from them and didn't feel any. I wish we could come back here in summer time! ##### Veronika Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Arie Jun 11, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great honeymoon stay! We stayed for two nights on our honeymoon and had a great time! The hosts are extremely accommodating and went out of their way to give advice on activities, get to know us, and make our honeymoon feel special. They decorated our honeymoon suite and offered to drop us off downtown in the evenings. They obviously care about their visitors and their business. It felt like staying at a friend's home, having breakfast and drinks in the living room and getting to know the hosts and other guests. Views are amazing and getting to feed the alpacas was so much fun! Walls in the rooms are a bit thin/accommodations a little tight for those wanting a lot of privacy but the hosts and warmness of the place more than make up for that and it's a true B&B experience. Highly recommend! ##### Arie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent B&B Angie and Leigh are very nice and helpful, their Alpacas and cat are lovely, great experience to stay there, will definitely visit again, highly recommended! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1214-p6ff325d0-d327-11e6-95d6-d6dabd773de3-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s682-p7190f750-d327-11e6-95d6-d6dabd773de3-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex, Hamilton Sep 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful B&B Had a wonderful stay at City Lights Boutique Lodge Really nice place not too far from all the attractions Hope to be able to go back with friends ##### Alex ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff Jul 24, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Homestay in Rotorua. Great stay at City lights with wonderful hosts that prepare a great breakfast for you. Great views of the city from the house and cute alpacas in the backyard. ##### Jeff ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy, Warsaw, Poland May 8, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fab city getaway! After a long day of driving and sightseeing, City Lights was like a relaxing oasis for us. In fact, we bought groceries in town and took advantage of the outdoor grill to cook our own dinner. Local NZ wine, cheese and steaks plus the lovely views - what's not to enjoy! After dinner, we enjoyed relaxing a bit more in the hot tub! Thanks to our lovely hosts for a great night! Angie was sweet enough to turn on the heater to warm up our cozy room before our arrival and made us fresh museli in the morning. And we got to meet the friendly alpacas. So cute! All in all a great place to stay during your NZ adventures. ##### Joy ### 10/10 Excellent #### tristan, Zürich Apr 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sensationelle Lage mit Blick über Rotorua ein richtihes Bijou ##### tristan ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beautiful Family Home - Teemo's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Beautiful-Family-Home-Teemos-Retreat.h96971196.Hotel-Information) > > [Penthouse Apartment 502 in The Atrium](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Penthouse-Apartment-502-In-The-Atrium.h17832410.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpin Motel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Alpin-Motel-Conference-Centre.h7105518.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Mount-Backpackers.h9625607.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Deerfield Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Deerfield-Beach-Motels.d7615-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Shed Retreat | Rural Getaway | Cedar Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-The-Shed-Retreat-Summ.h106182630.Hotel-Information) > > [Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments - Copenhagen Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Copenhagen-Hotels-Eric-Vokel-Copenhagen-Suites.h39628979.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Kitts and Nevis](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Kitts-And-Nevis-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d130-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Greater-Moncton-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYQM-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Accolade Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Accolade-Motel.h109392493.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in France](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-France.d59.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Arawa Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Rydges-Rotorua.h69569.Hotel-Information) > > [Colonial Court Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Colonial-Court-Motor-Inn.h15545470.Hotel-Information) > > [Gateway International Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Gateway-International-Motel.h9327841.Hotel-Information) > > [Hugo & Carter's Backpackers & Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Hugo-Carters-Backpackers-Motel.h41182192.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Owl's Head Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Owls-Head-Ski-Resort-Hotels.d553248635976625662.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aura Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Aura-Accommodation.h9628936.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ahmedabad (AMD) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/amd/yxe/ahmedabad-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yul/delhi-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/mia/paris-to-miami) > > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to Saskatoon (YXE) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-john-g-diefenbaker-intl/ws/yyc/yxe) > > [Flights from Cambridge (CGE) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cge/yow/cambridge-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/iah/toronto-to-houston) ### Packages > [Costa Mujeres Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Mujeres.d553248633894641323.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [All inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### Vacation Rentals ### General
