So glad I booked this place! It felt home away from home for this solo traveler. You had the privacy of your own studio but could go into the home and feel welcomed.
Breakfast was such a fun experience with the food and other guests.
Fresh coffee, fresh orange juice and freshly cut up fruit were my favorite!
Beds were comfortable, slept good.
Location was amazing for all the site seeing.
I rented a car and it was short 5 to 20-30 min drives to all the great outdoor sites and events.

I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about this cute Bed and Breakfast!

My stay here as a solo traveler was the best decision I made for my trip. Dave and Shami were so friendly, kind, welcoming, and just genuinely good people. The room was so cozy and has an incredible view overlooking Rotorua. The breakfast spread was incredible and it was lovely to spend some time talking to other travelers about where they’re from and get ideas. I absolutely plan to come back again and recommend this place to anyone passing through Rotorua.

The ensuite room we stayed in had lovely views out over Rotorua and was nicely furnished with everything we needed. The hosts Dave and Shami were very welcoming with plenty of suggestions for things to do in the local area. Breakfast was lovely with a wide choice of meats, cheeses and chutneys as well as different types of bread and an excellent fresh fruit salad. The location is a little outside the centre of Rotorua but provided a great base for exploring the area.

I had the sweetest stay at Shami and Dave’s home. It was exactly what I needed and in the perfect location. The breakfast provided was so nourishing and fresh. As well, the rooms are so so cozy and make you feel right at home. It’s also close to so many activities and beautiful scenery.

I will definitely stay here again when back in Rotorua!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Geyser Lookout B&B and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel so welcome. They live on site and are both very friendly, helpful, and clearly work very hard to ensure every guest has an excellent stay.

Our room was wonderful, with a very large bathroom that felt very spacious. One of the highlights was having our own deck overlooking one of the active geysers at a distance.

The breakfast was phenomenal and the best we’ve ever had. The selection was more like what you would expect in one of the finest hotels, with fresh fruits, salmon, breads, spreads, and so much more. Everything was beautifully presented, fresh, and incredibly generous.

This is a special place with exceptional hosts, beautiful rooms, and an outstanding breakfast. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

We stayed in the San Fran room and it was so cozy and private. The kitchenette was well stocked as well and the shower was fabulous.

A cosy wee space that makes you feel right at home. Access to kitchen and cooking with all essentials provided with milk, coffee etc a friendly greeting and keys to your own private space and access to an outside garden with a spa pool overlooking Rotorua, steam puffing away within view.
The facilities - shower pressure is amazing, spa was delightful! And the wee kitchen had everything I needed for a quick meal.
Breakfast - this was a highlight - the spread was incredible and I wish I had an appeitite for breakfast ( not usually a morning person ) salmon, avocado, a fruit salad and cheeses and three different types of bread ro toast - it was high class and delicious.
Thank you for the stay!
Much appreciated!

Breakfast of dreams

Biggest complaint is that we weren’t there longer. The room had a couple of those “extras” like converters and power strips on each side of the bed that really make a difference. But this place stood out because of the breakfast. I was worried because I’m kind of picky, but I was worried that I ate them out of house and home. The fruit, the breads, the cheese, all of it. Seriously, days of happy memories of that breakfast!

The hosts, Dave and Shami, are extremely friendly and welcoming people. The breakfast they provided was \"European\" style with the works (ie) musli, yohgurt, toast, spreads, meat and cheese platter, etc. If you enjoy meeting new people and having breakfast with them then this is the place for you. It was an interesting experience we will never forget.

An outside spa with great views over Rotorua is a great way to relax.
