Splendid location and family friendly home
We traveled as a family with grandparents and kids. The pictures don’t do justice to how gorgeous this location is. The place is indeed a retreat with a complete island to yourself. The house is very well equipped to host multiple families or events. It had everything you need to relax, enjoy and the proximity to Rotorua, waterfalls, Hobbiton make this a perfect vacation spot. The hosts( Jenny and Rob) are amazing and available when you need help. We look forward to visiting soon again.

Paradise in Te Puna
Absolutely amazing house and property. Unfortunately for us it was torrential rain for two thirds of our stay. The house more than made up for that. Would totally recommend. Will remember our family catch up forever. Listen out for the frogs 😁
