The Neighborhood:
Papawai Townhouse 11 is ideally placed in Koutu, just a short walk from the Rotorua CBD with its shops, cafes and restaurants, and the vibrant dining of Eat Street. The Rotorua Lakefront is a pleasant stroll away, and the geothermal Kuirau Park - with its free foot pools and bubbling mud - is close by. The recently revitalised Rotorua Aquatic Centre, with heated indoor and outdoor pools, is about a 10-minute (700m) walk down the road. It's a handy, central base for exploring everything Rotorua has to offer.
Getting Around:
The central city is within easy walking distance, so you can leave the car behind for a lot of your stay, and there's a carport right outside the unit. By car, the city centre, Skyline and Polynesian Spa are all around 6 minutes, Te Puia about 8, the Redwoods around 11, and Rotorua Airport roughly 12 to 14.

There's a dedicated workspace upstairs with a desk and chair, handy if you need to do a little work. The townhouse has a heat pump for heating and cooling, and a Weber BBQ in the private backyard. A carport sits right outside the front door, and the geothermal Kuirau Park and the Aquatic Centre are both a short walk away.

Very clean and well equipped. Well situated. Removal of dead leaves and flowers will improve overall rating. Had a great stay with value for our money. Magdaleen, South Africa
Great accommodation in Rotorua. Awesome location, within walking distance to the town, and the house had everything we needed. The process was quick and easy. Highly recommend.
This 2-bedroom unit has everything you need for a weekend or week away. Close to the City Centre and lakefront and all that Rotorua has to offer. Communication from the host was clear and answered promptly. The unit was a little more dated than the photos showed and we weren't sure we were in the right place when we first drove in but the photos generally represented the interior of the unit. I only rated it 4 stars as it would have been good to have some additional blankets available for the cooler winter nights (which I have informed the host about). I would stay again.
Well located for a great Rotorua stopover this comfortable townhouse had everything a small family would need to be self-contained. Upstairs was pretty warm for sleeping but fans helped.
They advertize that the property is airconditioned but all they have is a unit on 1st floor. There is NO airconditioning in upsatirs where bedrooms are and it was VERY warm. We ending up sleeping on the couch.
Also, be aware that this townhouse is 2 blocks away from a hot spring and the FOUL sulfur odor permeates into the home.
Terrible place for the price!
