Village was really nice and close to multiple lakes and only a short drive to Rotorua. There was only three of us so didn’t use half the house it was that big!!House was spotlessly clean, dry and a great place to chill out. Highly recommended with all the mod cons. Was fully air conditioned with seperate heaters and huge beds were super comfortable. Can’t rate highly enough if you want to escape the main town. 2 minutes from a boat ramp as well"
