Lovely lakefront weekend

8 of us came down for our friend’s wedding, and this was a perfect spot for a larger group. Lots of room, well appointed, close to town, and a beautiful location. Kristin was easy to deal with, and the whole stay was great, thanks!

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).

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.

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.

An unusual design of house right on the shore of the lake, in a suburb of Rotorua town. We stayed as a family with young adult children. The house felt like it had been built truly as someone's holiday home so it was clean, very comfortable and very spacious with lots of facilities but not "high spec luxury", which was perfect for us! Very well placed for a short (5min) drive to Rotorua centre and a great base for exploring area. The management company responded quickly to a minor maintenance issue.Would definitely stay again !
