Incredibly beautiful views and such a lovely spot to unwind by the lake. We really enjoyed making use of the kayaks stored in the garage – a perfect way to get out on the water. The owner is genuinely friendly and goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and well looked after.There are plenty of games available, which was fantastic for us travelling with two little kids – they had a great time. The location also works really well as a base for exploring Rotorua, the geothermal areas, or even heading out for some rafting adventures.Like many places surrounded by nature, you might come across the odd mouse or spider – all part of the experience. The terrace and balcony could do with a little bit of TLC, but overall it’s a warm, relaxed, and enjoyable place to stay.
