Beautiful location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we wished we had planned to stay longer. Only a small drive away from most activities in Rotorua while also being well away from that famous sulfur smell. No fuss check in and not a long list of instructions for departure

Home away from home
Wow! Amazing property for all ages, safe and secure for our 2 year old and easily accesible for our 88 year old. Our teenagers enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks and so did the adults. Great time away from phones and spending quality family time and enjoying the beautiful view. Close to attractions. Thank you owners
