Jess and Barry were such great hosts; we would stay again with them in a heartbeat! The studio is lovely and has all the amenities you need, plus the hot tub takes off the winter chill in no time. It was in such a central location with so much to do around in Rotorua, we could not recommend enough!

The Summer House is a great stay for a single or couple. Well decorated and kitchen had everything thing needed. Nice extra touches with fresh fruit and other food items for us. Barry and Jessica were great communicators and check in was easy.

We had an amazing stay at Jessica & Barry's studio - they were close by should we have needed anything but we didn't because it had all the amenities as well as being close to the town centre and all the activities that we did. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay there again next time

Very comfortable for two, great location, and friendly owners. The cabin is well designed and cared for, and this includes the delightful outdoor patio and yard. No regrets at all about this selection.

Perfectly Splendid

Great location, handy to everything, beautiful garden, private as described. Really enjoyed exploring the Whirinaki forest while we were there and returning to a soak in the spa. Also trying out the numerous ethnic eateries. Thank you for having us Jess, Barry and Ella!

Excellent peaceful location just outside Rotorua - the Summer House is privately located at the back

Excellent peaceful location just outside Rotorua - the Summer House is privately located at the back of the owners' house, with its own garden and hot tub. The house was clean, light and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen, including excellent breakfast and other provisions. There were lots of lovely little touches - fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and fruit. A great place to stay.
