Homely feeling

Communication with our host was great and self check-in allowed us to check-in when we got to the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the house felt very homely and catered to all our needs during our stay. The beds were comfortable with the electric blankets providing added warmth and comfort after outings.

Everything we needed was available and we were all very comfortable here. A lot of room for everyone. Only complaint we had was the washing machine doesn't work well. We laundered our hiking clothes and it didn't get clean. Found a laundromat nearby.

Close to downtown Rotorua

Great location 5-10 minutes by car from Eat Street/downtown Rotorua. Nice to have a lake view especially late at night and first thing in the morning. Unfortunately the grassed reserve in front of the lake is covered in doggy doos - not impressed with the local dog owners.... The house is comfortable with a great garden and lawn - beds are comfortable and the environs are quiet. House as such is 40 odd years old and the "styling" reflects this. Nevertheless it's a suitable home to rent and has everything one needs for a short or long stay.

Beautiful Yard with Lake View

We loved our stay at this property. The location is convenient to all tourist spots. The yard is beautiful and the lake is just at the edge of your yard. We loved the charm of the house, it's like stepping into another decade. The beds were comfortable and there was so much space to spread out. One night we lit a fire and the hot tub was also a nice touch at the end of a long day. If we have any critique it would be that there isn't a dryer for your laundry so you need to plan for a sunny day to let your clothes dry. Also the couches are pretty worn out and not very comfortable. We stayed at some very nice homes during our two weeks in NZ and this house was our favorite. Would definitely stay there again!

Big and Comfy

The house has everything you need. The house itself is older but it’s clean and big. Great for families or groups. The view of the lake is magic and there is access to the lake from the property. Although I didn’t use them, there are kayaks available to use, too. I recommend this property and will stay again.

Rotorua by the lake

This home is beautifully situated right next to a lake and with a lovely garden. Quiet and with a very comfortable bed in the Master. Best sheets of our holiday of 6 locations! We really appreciated being able to bring our dog too. Only negative would be the tired carpet which is bordering on dangerous where ripped on the stairs into the lounge.
