It was a very cozy room with a great view. The hosts were extremely friendly and had helpful recommendations about things to do in the area and even in Auckland where we were going afterward. They did a very nice job of making my wife and I feel at home. The breakfast was also very tasty.

Thank you, Graham, for your review. it was pleasure having you stay. we hope we may see you again at our Geyser Lookout BnB, Rotorua.
When we arrived it seems there was a mixup regarding our dog on the booking site. This was taken care of efficiently and quickly even though the downstairs room was already occupied. Everything was clean, classy and very comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding.

Thank you John for your kind review, we are so pleased you got to enjoy your stay at our Geyser Lookout and that our unpreparedness for your dog staying did not put you off. I would like to take this opportunity to relay to prospective guests with dogs that we do have dogs stay on a request and acceptance basis. We need notification from Expedia so we can best prepare and it is only our downstairs Deluxe Suite, because of its proximity to our grounds, that we deem suitable for such stays.
Host was super-welcoming. Everything really clean and lots of character, could share the communal space (sitting room, kitchen if we had wanted to cook, etc.) and breakfast was amazing! Great view from our room balcony; we enjoyed drinking tea / coffee and just enjoying the view and the bird song.

Thank you, Anonymous, for your generous review of our Geyser Lookout BnB. We are encouraged by your feedback and kind words, and YES! is that breakfast that Shami puts on not amazing? Shami's breakfasts are notorious.
Very friendly and nice hosts. Amazing breakfast and use of the spa tub was a treat. The views of the geyser and the lake were beautiful. Thank you!

Thank you, Velimir, for your generous review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the beautiful panoramic views, the Hot Springs Spa and of course Shami's amazing and famous breakfast. We do hope we see you again.
The home is beautifully and tastefully appointed. The room we stayed in had a deck and lovely view of the lake and geyser. The owners are very friendly, chatty (when / if you want) and the breakfast was excellent. Couldn't fault it. Will stay again.

A very welcoming host the Geyser Lookout is a very comfortable place to stay. I was luck enough to be upgraded into a spacious apartment with seperate kitchen area. Kitchen was stocked with milk a selection of cereals for breakfast and freshly ground coffee.
An outside spa with great views over Rotorua is a great way to relax.
The bed was super comfy and the place was spotless. Thoroughly recommend.

Thank you Anonymous. We appreciate your comments and are pleased you enjoy the comfort our Geyser Lookout Home-stay. We do try hard to make your stay enjoyable and like home away from home.
We booked the self-contained unit for our family and loved it. Very clean, spacious and a 10 minute drive from the main town centre. Even though it was raining on the night we arrived, we sat in the hot tub overlooking the geyser and paddocks, great way to unwind. We'll definitely be back :)

Thank you Jordan for your valued review. We are very pleased your family enjoyed the facilities and Yes! - the hot tub is very cosy in winter and has a panoramic view of the valley below and the Geysers.
Beautiful property and excellent location just a few minutes drive from the centre of Rotorua but so peaceful. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and breakfast was just delicious! Bed was so comfy and we couldn’t have asked for more from our room - except to stay longer!
We especially loved their beautiful friendly cats!
Thank you David and Shami for a wonderful stay in Rotorua.

감사합니다. 우리는 당신의 검토를 소중하게 생각합니다. 우리는 당신이 돈을 위해 가치와 잘 조직 된 가정에서 손님을 즐겁게하기 위해 우리가 노력한 노력에 감사드립니다. 공용 욕실이 불편하여 죄송합니다. 우리는 그것이 모든 사람을위한 것이 아니라는 것을 이해합니다. 그래서 우리는 방을 정확히 무엇인지에 대해 마케팅했고, 항상 독립된 시설을 갖춘 완전히 독립된 유닛의 대안을 제공했습니다. 선택은 손님이었다.
우리는 운영하는 동안 COVID-19를 무료로 유지했다는 것을 알고 기뻐할 것입니다. 그러나 그 사건 이후 우리는 자신의 욕실이있는 방만 제공했으며 이제는 모든 침실에 개인 욕실을 추가하는 데 능숙합니다. 욕실이없는 객실은 더 이상 Geyser Lookout Home-stay에서 이용할 수 없습니다.
Thank you for your review Robert. We are pleased you enjoyed the super comfortable beds, the amazing view and the great food here at tge Geyser Lookout home-stay, Rotorua. We look foward to seeing you again.
