The kitchen had everything you’d think of needing and more. (Pasta maker and pasta drying rack?!) She even contacted us ahead to find out our favorite bread and provided some basics and treats for the fridge and pantry. The space is full of light. The patio is wonderful. It’s a 15 minute walk to every manner of restaurant on Victoria St when you want to eat out. We would have loved to move in and call it home. Definitely recommend! Centrally located (45 -90 minutes) to Hobbiton, Rotorua and Glow Worm & other caves. ##### Martine F.

She has pride of ownership and a sincere desire to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Her house was immaculate, with a well stocked pantry.The layout is ideal for 2 couples travelling together. A third bedroom offers even more room for extra guests. We made considerable use of the private garden for dining and relaxing. When you rent you have complete use of the upper floor. Two bedrooms and the living room overlook Jan’s front yard. The house is built into a hillside so when you step out at the rear of the house on the second level from the dining room, kitchen and master bedroom you are at “ground level”. The compete backyard area is fenced in and is all a private beautiful lush garden and deck. It has a dining area and sitting area complete with umbrella and chairs. Roughly 1200 square feet. I mention this unique layout because I did not realize how nice and functional it was when we booked. Definitely a big asset. I recommend this property and would stay again Brian from Orillia Ontario Canada ##### Brian D.
