One of the highlights of our trip through New Zealand - and that’s gotta mesn something! Tracey is super friendly, open-minded, makes delicious breakfast and has an amazing house where you feel welcomed and at home.
The conversations were interesting and new perspectives were shown.
Would definitely book again! Our best stay.

Tracey’s house/home is amazing. It’s an eclectic artist home but very comfortable, inviting and has a homely feel . We loved it and would definitely stay again . The cooked breakfast was a bonus too

Very friendly host, great recommendations for local things to do and there are many. Great location for walking to the Living Maori Village in Whakarewarewa, which I highly recommend. Local guide was excellent.
Overall a great stay, very comfortable, super interesting accommodation, so much history! Thank you!!

Tracey’s home is, without question, the most exceptional Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Though the house is large, it radiates a warm, welcoming energy that makes you feel instantly at home. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and her art collection is breathtaking—every room feels like a gallery of beauty and heart.

What truly set this stay apart, though, was Tracey herself. Staying with her embodied everything I love about Airbnb—genuine connection with a local who shares their culture and history with such depth and generosity. Her stories about the land, people, and traditions made my time in Rotorua unforgettable.

Thank you, Tracey, for your kindness, wisdom, and hospitality. This was a deeply meaningful and memorable experience, and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. ❤️
