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.

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

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.

Very nice Lodge, amazing view of Rotorua from the back of your room. Grace and David are a lovely couple who take good care of you. They serve a good breakfast which keeps you going all day. The rooms are spacious and well kept. We definitely would recommend you to stay with Grace and David.

We received such a lovely greeting from our hosts...very helpful and welcoming. The apartment had everything we could need and a supermarket is just a short drive away. The apartment was clean and well thought out. The only thing that stopped me giving this property 5 stars was that the sofas were so uncomfortable we couldn't sit on them...and we noticed other visitors had commented on this in the visitors' book. This may not be the case in other apartments but still a lovely place to stay.

David and Grace are the perfect hosts: friendly, very helpful and informative on the local area, sights to visit etc. The lodge is set in a beautiful high location with excellent views over the countryside. It has a guest lounge/breakfast room complete with a PC that is available for guests to use. The rooms are comfortable and well fitted (ours had a sliding glass door onto the rear patio and garden with distant views). Excellent selection of mostly home made breakfast items.
