Wonderful homestay! Brian and Kate are fabulous hosts. Their home is very comfortable and the views are outstanding. They suggested, arranged, and even booked several outings for us during our stay, and even accompanied us to the hot springs pools outside of town and out to dinner one night. Such wonderful hospitality. We will be sure to book with them... More

When we arrived in Serendipity Homestay, our hosts immediately handed us a pair of binoculars and ushered us to the deck to watch the geyser that had just gone up.’ Wow!’ We exclaimed the moment we stepped on the deck.

Great hospitality from the host and hostess and a comfortable spot overlooking the steaming fumeroles of Rotorua. A beautifully quiet spot with stunning views. Plenty of helpful advice and local recommendations to follow. Rooms comfortable but would benefit from being bigger. More

We spent the month of March 2009 traveling the North and South Islands of New Zealand. All our accomodations were B&B's and this B&B stands out as one of our fondest memories. Brian and Kate, the owners, made us feel like we were family members who happened to drop in for a couple days. Whether it was sitting out on... More

The B&B is on a hill overlooking Rotorua town, the geysers and the lake. You can see the geysers shooting up from their patio. The rooms were clean and spacious. We had access to their computer and living rooms. We were greeted with a cup of tea and biscuits. Brian and Kate are a wealth of information about the local... More
