Great place to stay in Tarawera

This is a great spot. Lovely warm house with great views. Nice to back from a day in the forest and have a soak in the spa. Kids/teens loved the pool table too.

Lovely place, only one let down

Beautiful view and a lovely cosy and warm home. Excellent fireplace. It looks like the cleaners overlooked cleaning the bedroom window and sliding door frames, which were covered in mould.

Ok but not great

Advertised as having a hot-tub… no spa… disappointing. Very dark inside. Overall a bit run down. Good location though.
