About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious Home with Thermal Heating & Relaxing Spa

Summary:
Tilsley Inn is situated right in the heart of Glenholme which is centrally located to everything Rotorua has to offer. Walk to town or jump on your bike for a quick ride to either entrances of the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest and hit the trails for the day. The house comfortably sleeps 10 people and has the huge bonus of thermal heating so you can be sure you will be warm and toasty during your stay. You also have a thermally heated spa pool!

The Space:
The house is spacious and offers four-bedroom. Each bedroom is privately positioned off a central hallway, offering privacy for everyone. The living areas are designed to connect seamlessly to the back patio, where you can unwind in the spa pool and enjoy the outdoor space.

A standout feature of the home is its thermal heating system. Throughout the property, thermal heaters keep the house comfortably warm during the colder months, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere even in winter. The thermal bore also heats the spa pool, so you can enjoy a warm soak all year round. In the summer, the system can be easily turned off to maintain a cool and comfortable environment.

For added convenience, there is a second shower in the laundry (accessible by an external door) and a second toilet in the garage, perfect for larger groups or outdoor activities.

This home offers a perfect balance of comfort, practicality, and relaxation. Whether you’re here to explore the local area or just enjoy a peaceful weekend getaway, you’ll feel right at home.

Guest Access:
You'll have access to the whole house including the garage.

The Neighborhood:
Glenholme is very central and puts you within walking distance to the CBD and many of Rotorua's attractions. If staying at Tilsley Inn, you must try the bakerys on Ranolf Street just a short walk from the house - they are both delicious!

Getting Around:
Buses and other forms of public transport are easy to catch nearby.

Interaction with Guests:
We will be available via phone or message during your stay.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with an oven and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a washing machine.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a hot tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lots of beds, limited baths

Property clean with lots of beds and clean linens. Only one toilet and shower in the house, then there is one toilet in the garage and a shower in a separate laundry room (which we found when we were checking out). Well appointed kitchen and plenty of space for eating, sleeping, meeting.

Great location, comfortable house

We were a group of 3 adults & 2 tweens. Bedrooms were all nicely set up. The 4th bedroom had 4 single beds & was large & perfect for the kids also having a large tv & desk space.The lounge was big with very comfortable seating. The kitchen had everything we needed & the laundry was handy also having the 2nd shower. The main bathroom is a little dated but was still good, it has a seperate toilet with hand basin & the 2nd toilet is in the garage which works great being next to spa pool & entertaining areas. A cafe, bakery & shop is a short 5min walk & it’s a quiet neighborhood.

We had a great time staying at Tilsley Inn! Its really good to have a place where the whole family can stay together. We were close to all the activities in Rotorua and able to come back in between visiting different places to relax, cook, eat, have a spa and totally recharge. Excellent!

A good house located very near to the city

We had good time at the house. The house is located very bear to the city in a calm area. The house was very tidy and neat. Sone basic essential supplies were filled in for usage. Only issue i found was operating the tv, i think the batteries of one of the remote was flat. Otherwise we would definitely recommend Anyone especially for a large family as it has ample space for parking and stay

Will stay again

This is a great place to stay for either a group of friends or a large family. All the mod cons. A nice quiet part of town but still within easy reach. You can even walk if you don't mind taking the time. We were in Rotorua to do some walks so it was all good for us. I'll be definitely returning with my family and grandchildren.

An ok stay

Home was nice although hours before we are due to arrive we get a message that theres a problem with bore and spa and heating wont work. Big disappointment as the spa was a big reason why we booked there. We were offered a discount voucher to a spa place that was not suitable for our babies. When i asked for something else that would better suit our family, i never heard back from anyone. Like i said, the home was nice but the experience overall disappointing.

Central Hub with a Hot tub

My family and myself thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this beautiful central Rotorua property. The house was larger than we expected it to be with spaciousness rooms and living areas. The hot tub was a highlight of the visit overall. The 2 Showers and 2 seprate toilets (one being located in the in spacious garage away from the main house) were perfect for the 9 of us. Being centrally located it was easy to zip around the busy Rotorua areas. Good kitchen and appliances with ample utensils and cutlery. When we visited it was winter time and the house was very warm due to the natural geothermal heating. Overall we will be back to this lovely property. Booking essential as we can see why this property gets booked easily.
