Hiuse was prefect for our little group. Location was fantastic, close to toen but far enough out to be relaxing. The shoet stroll to the lake and the use of the kayaks was the best bit.

Classic kiwi bach

We had an amazing time staying at Lake rotoiti, the property was well equipped with all the amenities we needed, clean home and crisp sheets. The communication with the property manager was prompt and very compassionate and friendly. It’s walking distance to the park, boat ramp, and coffee cart. Would definitely recommend this location

Up to date HRV and heat pump - good internal temp control. Brand new oven, it seems. Quiet, spacious. Rather poor mobile reception, partly resolved with signal booster. No WIFI (Hard to watch AB's and F1). No sink plug in bathroom. Water pump forgotten to be enabled, but resolved rapidly.

A great stay

We loved the kayaks. Great spot to stay, everything we needed was there for a relaxing stay. It was awesome to have linen provided. One of the queen sized beds could do with a bigger duvet for comfort. I like the no wifi but the teenagers not so much!

Whanau is everything.

Our overall impression - comfort and easy access to this property. Beds very comfortable. A pillow case replaced due to hair dye. Sorry. No free Wi-Fi but actually loved talking to each other face to face. Too cold to use the kayaks but the thought was there. Place was tidy. Whanau enjoyed the comfort and stay too. Enjoyed the early morning walks. Our 4th time with Bookabach in this area. Looking forward to the next Bookabach experiences in the near future. Nga mihi nui.

Summer break

True to advert and had everything needed in a good location to the lake and boat ramp. Cleanliness let it down though. Found strip of medication etc under bed. Tea pot, kettle and oven were dirty. Cobwebs hanging in each room and dirt rings around vents on ceilings. Linen was fresh and clean. I just felt like giving it all a good clean but I was on holiday so put up with it.

Peaceful Lake Rotoiti bach

Thanks for a relaxing stay in this classic kiwi bach on the clear, clean and peaceful Lake Rotoiti. The kayaks were a fabulous way to enjoy the beautiful area with nearby walks in the forest further around Lake Rotoiti and less than 30 minutes drive to the many adventure sports we enjoyed around Rotorua. Was an easy family stay. Thanks.
