About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Simply Sophia

Our cute, brick townhouse is a private little haven in central Rotorua.

Relax in the enclosed backyard or unwind in the comfy beds after a day out exploring; this house is the perfect base for active families or guests wanting peace and quiet.

Close to local attractions and full of homely touches, it’s a simple, welcoming space that has housed many happy memories over the years, from young to old.

We hope wherever you choose to stay, you enjoy this beautiful city we call home.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Our home comfortably sleeps 4 people, however extra children etc. is at your discretion.
Please feel free to send me a message if you would like extra bedding, as I can do my best to accommodate extra numbers.

Pet Stay to be negotiated on a case by case basis.

We had a lovely stay, such a cosy home with loads of space indoors and out. So much better than a hotel for a family or group! Lovely owner, will most definitely be back. Kia ora☺️
