Fabulous property in beautiful country setting with easy access to Rotorua and its attractions. Louise is a very welcoming host providing tea and biscuits on arrival and delicious home cooked breakfasts every morning. She also has a wealth of information regarding what to see in the area and on local traditions and NZ history. The facilities are top notch and I will recommend Doolan’s to my friends if they visit the area

Don’t skip this delightful ranch estate!

Fantastic place and hosts! We could not recommend Doolan’s more, Louise and mark are lovely hosts, very accommodating and interesting to converse with. The estate is simply gorgeous and comfy! Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely return one day. They had many good travel suggestions and know so much about the area’s history and culture! Breakfast was perfection!

A gem around Rotorua

This is a beautiful home in outskirts of Rotorua. Louise is a great hostess and we felt very welcomed immediately upon arrival. She and her husband Mark took over this family home turned bed & breakfast from her mother a couple years ago. The rooms were very clean. The living room is huge and unique. We enjoyed the breakfast very much, and my wife learned how to make Egg Benedict in Louise’s way. I do recommend this place and would return without hesitation.
