Tranquillity amongst the stars

We had a bit of a hiccup on our arrival. We contacted host whom replied quickly and solved the problem immediately. We loved our stay near Lake Okareka. We travelled into Rotarua to enjoy hot springs and mud baths. Go to Redwood Butchery in Rotarua - delicious lamb cutlets and scotch fillet!!! The bath was delightful on the deck - we are used to starry skies but this was the most stars ive ever seen. Enjoyed listening to the birds, watching the night sky - shooting stars and moving satellite s. The bed was very comfortable. We were provided with all our needs. Would highly recommend staying here.Weloved

Great stay at Lake Okareka

This is a lovely property in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is clean and well appointed. Lake Okareka is less than a 5-minute walk and has a wonderful walking path around the lake. The host was great to communicate with. Air conditioning is listed as an amenity, but there is actually no air conditioning. We slept with the doors and windows open, so it was not an issue. There are so many things to do and see in the area! It takes about 15 minutes to drive to the center of Rotorua from this property. Rotorua has many restaurants, all with great food. I would recommend this property.
