Featuring free WiFi, Kiwi As Guest House offers accommodation in Rotorua, 200 m from Tamaki Maori Village Centre.

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.

    I stayed here second time since it was quite good hostel. This time it was more comfortable as we had normal beds. The room for 4 people is small but enough. Even a table fir there. Showers have enough hooks and a shelf for shampoos. Stuff is very friendly.

    Room was very comfortable. Had a heated blanket and extra snacks, breakfast etc. The outside area was cute and can just imagine how lovely it would be to sit outside during the warm summer months. Ava came by when we told her out AC and Wifi weren't working and she gave us new batteries for the AC and tried her best to figure the wifi. She even sent across recommendations for our next stop at wellington. She was super responsive on the booking.com app and overall just a very good host. Loved the room as well. Would 100% recommend.
