Lovely lakefront weekend

We loved our stay in Rotorua

We loved the space available in this home - plenty of space to spread out and not get in each way. We had a great time doing lots of activities and coming back to the house to relax was great. It was the middle of winter but I still managed to have some quiet time outside sitting by the Lake. Lovely house, great location.

A great place to stay for 3 generations

This property had everything we needed. It was warm and spacious. The table tennis table was put to good use, and sitting out by the jetty with a coffee in the morning was really lovely (we had beautiful weather and sunrises).

Enjoyable stay

We did have to clear away debris from entrance due to storm that had come through before arrival but we enjoyed our stay in the property and enjoyed use of kayaks, table tennis etc. A separate toilet from the shower rooms would have been useful for the number it accommodates. But good for family holiday.
