Kathleen, lovely to hear the wood pile and spa pool sorted you out on a chilly day. There's something pretty special about combining both in winter. Thanks for staying with us! The InnList Team

Large home for our family. Main bedroom is very nice. The spa is an added attraction. Plenty of firewood to keep the house warm. Pet friendly for our labrador. Close to the city and attractions.

Rooms were absolutely impeccably clean and the house was very comfy and easy to get around. The host was extremely communicative and helpful when we had questions. The spa pool was in lifesaver at the end of each day. And the kayaks were very easy to get into the lake and we had glorious kayaking experiences. The place was extremely friendly for a medium sized dog. Home was very close to town and really enjoyed our stay. When we go back to Rotorua, we will definitely go back to this home.

Sandra, so pleased the house felt like home from the moment you walked in. That lake view paired with the spa pool is hard to beat, and we're always happy when furry family members get to enjoy the garden too. The InnList Team

Perfect for three couples. Linen and bathrooms super clean and tidy. Enough comfy couches and space for everyone. If you are foodies and like to cook your meals, the kitchen and bbq equipment are very basic, host super responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Large house with spacious rooms and common areas. Hot tub was awesome and easy to use. View of the lake was good and deck was wonderful. Lots of room for a family of two adults and two adult children to enjoy. Supper location to explore all in Rotorua and all the fun stuff to do.

Scott, what a great mix of relaxation and adventure you found there. The spa pool really does hit differently after a day out exploring Rotorua's attractions - sounds like you made the most of both. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. The InnList Team

Lovely home and enjoyed our stay. Nice quiet area and garden area. Enjoyed the amenities especially firewood supply, heating options. Just a quick mention that the jets on the spa pool aren’t working properly, or at all at times, the window in the master bedroom behind the headboard we couldn’t close, quite a tricky door to open the house but aside these minor issues a great location and home thank you

Cheryle, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed the quiet setting and amenities – that firewood supply is always a hit in the cooler months. We'll get onto the spa jets and bedroom window straight away so everything's perfect for the next guests. The InnList Team

Homely feeling

Communication with our host was great and self check-in allowed us to check-in when we got to the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the house felt very homely and catered to all our needs during our stay. The beds were comfortable with the electric blankets providing added warmth and comfort after outings.
