You will find a shared kitchen at the property.

Rotorua Museum is 400 m from Kiwi As Guest House, while Polynesian Spa is 300 m from the property. The Rotorua i-site and coach station is 700 m away.

What I like about the place it is within the city so I didn't have to use my car, I also like the free carpark right outside the Guest house. I can't complain because I have a bed to sleep on there's a shower and toilet and laundry. So as long those needs are available I am happy.

    A wonderful place to stay, very friendly welcome, the most comfortable beds and log fire. Great for a group of friends or family, sparkling lake behind the property, amazing kayaking and treks near by. Only 15 mins from Rotorua. Anne is a great host and we’re looking forward to retuning for a wonderful lamb roast .
