“A very good lodge in Rotorua”

Reviewed 6 March 2013

I and my wife stayed in City Lights Lodge in late Feb. We're amazed by the cleanliness of the room despite a room with a relatively small size. The owner was very nice and we did enjoy the breakfast very much as we seldom manage to enjoy a breakfast with such family feeling and good chat. Another highlight is that... More

Naomi and Jim met us with a welcome cup of tea and a friendly chat. Their home is very comfortable with stunning views. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made us feel very relaxed. They gave advice on where to visit and eat and booked trips and meals for guests.
