The house had a charm about it. It was one street back from the lake with easy access to lake and many tourist activities. Kitchen was very well equiped, off street parking and plenty of space. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, clean and very cute. The layout is a little unconventional but that is part of its charm. Gert (the host) was very responsive, helpful, and generous. My son had an important Skype meeting on the day of our departure that ran till 1pm and Gert was very generous to let us stay till the end of the meeting (checkout time is 10am) without charging us extra!

A perfect getaway

The property was exactly what we wanted—a bit outside Rotorua but still close to all the attractions and the lake. We traveled as a family of four with my mother in law and the house was perfect—we could all have our our space when we needed and also could all hang out together. Highly recommended.

Excellent home and stay

Amazing home that had everything we needed and a little bit more. Spacious rooms and we loved the wood burner on a particularly cold night there. Home was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. Excellent area and one minute little stroll to the lakefront. Loved our stay here and would absolutely book again. Thank you for having us.

great stay

we stayed here for 5 days. The house had everything we needed. The Neighbour's were quiet and felt very safe with high fencing and a high front gate. The lake and stream is very close by. My husband fished every day and caught 1 trout. You meet a lot of lovely people walking along the lake walkway.

Neglected rental in a good location

The rental unit has great potential; it is in a good location, has outdoor space, and sufficient indoor space. Unfortunately, it is very dirty, and routine maintenance has been significantly neglected. Floors were littered with food crumbs and dust. Food residue was in the kitchen cupboards and drawers. Window latches were broken off their frames or non- existent. The outdoor couch and cushions were mouldy. And this is not an exhaustive list. Overall, we would not recommend staying at this rental unless the owner spends the time and money to bring it to a level of cleanliness and maintenance expected by renters.
