Beautiful lake views

We were more than pleased when we arrived at the house! The views of the lake are amazing and the close proximity to walking paths and fishing was an added bonus! The host went above and beyond with providing the home with all the basic necessities and even offered to replenish during our stay if needed. Our only complaint is that there was no proper aircon in the bedrooms and it did get a bit hot at times.

Spacious home with lake views-mostly great

We had a wonderful family stay in this spacious home, enjoying the multiple rooms and lovely lake views (though not directly on the lakefront). The fast internet was a bonus, and the games provided kept our kids entertained. The rooms were decent-sized with comfy beds.However, there were some areas for improvement. The lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms was noticeable, and we spotted mould, and cobwebs. The extractor fans and faucets in the bathrooms were also quite noisy and could be heard from the 2 bedrooms.Despite these issues, we appreciated the home's amenities and would consider staying here again. With some maintenance and upkeep, this property could truly shine.

Rotorua holiday

The property was fantastic! Very clean and well maintained with everything needed for an extended stay. The layout was perfect for two couples or a large family! It was easy to get to main attractions and Eat Street at night for a meal. It had a secure garage for the car and easy access to the lake. Awesome accommodation and would definitely stay again. Well done to our hosts!!!

Unfortunately, we discovered the lake was closed due to toxic algae blooms so we did not use the kayaks

Had a pleasant stay and property was clean. Fast internet. Had games to keep kids entertained. Decent sized rooms with comfy beds. Cons: - Found the layout a bit odd (living room upstairs, bedrooms downstairs) - Dishwasher tablet compartment was broken - A/C only in main living area. Had to use fans for bedrooms as it was hot. - The detergent compartment in washing machine was a bit dirty. - Ensuite was tiny :|

Excellent location

My family loved staying at this home. Excellent location on the east side of the lake for easy access to all the family activities. Great view of the lake. Two living areas upstairs so the kids could watch tv in one room while the adults were in the kitchen/dining/living. Downstairs rooms with bunk beds for the kids and master with ensuite were fantastic. We will be coming back. Highly recommend!
