Boat Shed at Lake Tarawera - BACH OF THE YEAR
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (227)
"We loved the character of the boat shed. Good fire wood supply, and panel heaters, kept the house cosy and warm. Beds were comfortable. Freya was very easy to communicate with. We were very appreciative of the late check out. We would happily stay again, a beautiful spot looking over the lake."

"Such a beautifully presented and spectacularly located holiday home. We had a fantastic time and some much needed rest and relaxation. Communication was fantastic including excellent suggestions of things to do in the area. We were greatful for the extra duvets on the bed and fireplace, as the weather was colder than we are used to. Thanks again, Claire and family"

5/5 Excellent
Excellent hotel for tourists in Rotorua
"Excellent hotel - situated right next to the top tourist site of the Maori village and the Geo-thermal walks. The hotel swimming pool is heated with the same thermal waters - so you can have the same experience as in other paid Spas in Rotorua (but for free!) The room was spacious, well furnished. Had a good coffee maker machine as well. Nice bed, good friendly staff. Lots of free parking space available. Overall, very happy with the hotel. "
