The Neighborhood:

Serenity on Sophia sits in Glenholme, a quiet, tree-lined residential suburb just south of central Rotorua - a peaceful spot that's also remarkably central.

It's an easy, comfortable base with restaurants, cafés and shops all close by.

Most of Rotorua is within about 10 minutes. By car, Te Puia is just 2 minutes away, the city centre around 5, Polynesian Spa about 6, the Redwoods roughly 8, and Rotorua Airport and Skyline about 12 to 13. There's free parking in the garage and on the street.



Other Things to Note:

The private spa pool and a Weber BBQ sit off the deck, alongside the garden and entertaining area. With three king bedrooms, a home office and fast 676 Mbps WiFi, it's well set up for families or anyone mixing a getaway with a bit of remote work. The adjoining townhouse at the rear - The Sanctuary - is a separate home that can also be booked, handy if you've got a larger group.

Nicest VRBO EVER!

This house is by far one of the nicest homes we have rented for short stay. The house is very new and everything is new and clean. The house is unbelievably well equipped with everything from Nespresso machine to towel warmers, pots and pans, car charger, laundry... beautiful kitchen, decor and even on demand water boiler! The rooms and bedding and etc were all clean and comfortable. Cannot say enough about this rental! I hope it stays this clean and well organized for the next time we return to Rotorua!! Thank you for a great stay! PS. Hard to believe, but the house is actually nicer than the pictures show.
