Eggs Benedict overlooking the Rotorua hills

I ate fresh eggs Benedict for breakfast while watching the geyser at Te Paia erupt from the common area window. I walked through the garden filled with hydrangeas and agapanthus during my afternoon strolls. A fridge sat in the common room for my use throughout the stay. I watched the sunrise over the volcanoes from my bedroom window after Louise pointed out the view.
