But the hosts, Angie and Leigh are also extremely welcoming, friendly and caring, providing a lot of tips on what to do in the area. We couldn't have asked for any better service during our unfortunately quite short stay. The Lodge itself is stylish, modern and clean on the outside and inside. Our room - Kiwi - had just the perfect size and amenities. Breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of nice things to choose from. As a bonus, some comic relief is provided by the very cute Alpacas, and a quite charming cat, Oscar. Really the only downside was the shortness of our stay, just one night. We certainly have to fix that next time we visit Rotorua, and the City Lights Boutique Lodge.

This was the best stay and the best sleep that we had anywhere in New Zealand. The scenery is stunning and calming with a creek that runs through the grounds, the sounds of several birds, and trails to explore. The guest room we stayed in was immaculately clean and comfortable, attached the house but with our own private bathroom, private deck overlooking the grounds, and tea, coffee and cookies awaiting our arrival. This was our first night in New Zealand and the hospitality and generosity that we received made us feel so welcome to the country. We were invited to dinner on her deck with her friends and family and were brought a plentiful breakfast with the best homemade croissants I have ever had. Make sure you check out the outdoor secluded bath to really let your worries and stress go away. I recommend anyone to come and stay with Rowena and her dog Maggie at the Rangimarie!
