The Neighborhood:
Springfield is a quiet, residential pocket on the south side of Rotorua, handy to just about everything. You're a couple of minutes from Te Puia and the edge of the Whakarewarewa Forest, home to some of New Zealand's best mountain biking, trail running and walking tracks - you can ride straight from the door, under the tunnel and across to the Waipa carpark trailhead. The Redwoods, Skyline Gondola and Luge, and the geothermal parks are all a short drive, and central Rotorua - with its lakefront, restaurants and hot pools, including the Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki - is about ten minutes away. Shops and essentials are just a few minutes from the door.
Getting Around:
A car is the easiest way to explore Rotorua, and there's off-street parking on the driveway plus room on the street. Central Rotorua is around 10 minutes, Rotorua Airport about 15, and the Redwoods, Skyline and geothermal parks all within a short drive. Keen riders can skip the car altogether and ride straight from the door, under the tunnel and across to the Waipa carpark trailhead.
Other Things to Note:
A LOCKWOOD HOME: The house is a classic New Zealand Lockwood, built from solid timber. Homes like this settle and can creak or make the odd noise as the temperature changes through the day and night - it's completely normal and simply part of the character of a Lockwood timber build.
A PRACTICAL, WELL-EQUIPPED HOME: This is a comfortable, functional home rather than a high-end one. It has everything you need for a relaxed group stay - it's just kept simple and unfussy.
WIFI: 346 Mbps.
