Why Rob Steadman chose Rotorua
We were very fortunate to get the opportunity to buy this lakeside property - they very rarely come on the market. We fell in love with the place on first viewing, and that hasn't changed over the years. It is our privilege to share our cottage with guests from all over the world.
What makes this Cottage unique
The position on the absolute lakefront is a benefit that is quite rare among Rotorua properties. The area is very quiet, and the only noise that can be heard at night is the lapping of the waves.
