Excellent home and stay
Amazing home that had everything we needed and a little bit more. Spacious rooms and we loved the wood burner on a particularly cold night there. Home was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. Excellent area and one minute little stroll to the lakefront. Loved our stay here and would absolutely book again. Thank you for having us.

Everything pictured as advertised. Beautiful well kept home that offers every amenity, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Private backyard offers an area to dine outside or have a glass of wine at the end of the day. We enjoyed our stay.

great stay
we stayed here for 5 days. The house had everything we needed. The Neighbour's were quiet and felt very safe with high fencing and a high front gate. The lake and stream is very close by. My husband fished every day and caught 1 trout. You meet a lot of lovely people walking along the lake walkway.

Wonderful stay -- would do it again
We arrived after dark to find a cosy, comfortable, welcoming house. The back part where the bedrooms are is clearly old, but the owners have chosen to keep the character and charm of the old house (wood paneling, old-fashioned light switches) while modernizing the important bits. The new kitchen and bathroom were perfectly suited to our needs. Everything was clean and the neighborhood was very quiet and secure. Location was perfect for visiting the adventure attractions since Skyline, Velocity Valley, Canopy Tours, mini-golf and so on were just down the road. We only went into Rotorua city for restaurants or to get to the lakes on the other side. We really enjoyed our stay at this house and would be happy to do it again.

Great spot
This property has character, is clean, with comfy beds and everything you need. It is a 30 second walk to Rotorua Lake and has a great bath, Netflix, it's very well set up and reasonably priced. Recommended if you want to be close to the lake and 10 minutes drive from city centre.
