Summary: Lovely, clean and well appointed cottage on beautiful grounds and conveniently located to restaurants and activities. We loved looking at the horses behind the cottage. Communication with Beatrice was always prompt and thorough. She personally greeted us upon arrival and what a pleasure to find a variety of homemade treats awaiting us in the cottage. I would highly recommend a stay at Rita’s Cottage for a visit to the Rotorua area.
