Banksia Cottage is one of Rotorua’s newest accommodation providers.

Opened in November 2009, the one-bedroom cottage (can sleep four) is nestled in farmland just a couple of minutes’ drive from Rotorua Airport. It’s an ideal home stay accommodation option close to the city centre, a range of attractions and Rotorua’s stunning lakes. Rates are from $110 per night

Two mountain bikes are available for hire, as is a rack that can be easily fitted to any vehicle. The Whakarewarewa Forest, home to some of the world’s best mountain bike tracks, is just 10 minutes’ drive from the cottage.

Co owner Paddy O’Brien has many years’ experience fishing on Rotorua’s lakes, offers guided trout fishing tours to guests on request.
Paddy and Jan are Rotorua locals who pride themselves on their friendliness and hospitality. They will go the extra mile to ensure guests an enjoyable stay.
