Location and Views: The property is situated on the peaceful rural outskirts of Rotorua, offering stunning views of the city and surrounding countryside. It is close enough to the city for convenience but far enough to provide tranquility.

Set outside of Rotorua’s center, this appart/hotel offers comfort, quiet and space. Not ideal without a car.

City Lights Boutique is a treat on the hillside overlooking Rotorua. David & Grace are gracious hosts, with expert knowledge of the area. They are accommodating & friendly, but also caring. They care about the local community. Their boutique is comfortable, has stunning views, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfasts are fabulous, and David, you're a star with your homemade baking. As for Grace, she has a heart of gold. Thank you for a fabulous time.

We loved our stay at City Lights. David and Grace are great hosts and the property is lovely. Our room was beautifully presented with lots of nice extra touches. As well as the many activities in Rotorua, we enjoyed chilling out in the garden on the sofa and using the Hot Tub. It’s a short drive into town for dinner but we were so glad we stayed at City Lights.

Nach sieben Wochen Reise quer durch Neuseeland, und nach vielen schönen Unterkünften steht eines fest: Die Lodge von Grace und David gehört zu unseren Lieblingsorten hier! Das Cottage ist mit allem ausgestattet, was Reisende brauchen. Unsere Gastgeber haben sich toll in die Situation des Reisens versetzt und an wirklich alles gedacht! Der Blick ist einfach nur fantastisch. Die Lage super. Und einfach unschlagbar: die Gastfreundschaft der beiden! Unbedingt buchen und unbedingt mindestens drei Nächte bleiben!

Excellent boutique hotel in a great location just out of town. David and Grace are fabulous hosts, with great knowledge of local things to do. Great room overlooking Rotorua - although on the small side - was furnished to a very high standard. Highly recommended

The views from the common area were beautiful. However, our room was tiny, no space to move about in at all. The breakfast provided was good but the spread somewhat stingy. You had to ask for that second cup of coffee for example, and the cold cuts and cheeses platter looked meager.

We stayed in the cottage for 3 nights. We had a warm welcome, and we got lots of great advice. We fed the alpaca's and could wake up with them every morning. The cottage has a great view over the city. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our time here. Thanks for the great stay.

Lovely Gem with "City Lights" and Alpacas. The beds were very comfortable and great decor that enamoured our five-year old. It was easy to fall in love with the alpacas. The hot tub and views of the city were tremendous. Accommodation everything we needed and more.
