Classic, beautiful Rotorua
When was younger, I remember staying by lake Rotorua, it was quiet and beautiful. These days Rotorua is so crowded and built-up, its just like any other city. However, this bach is 5 minutes walk from Lake Ōkareka, which was lovely to swim in with my family. It was also close to the Ōkareka walkway, which was another peaceful activity. However, when we wanted to do things in Rotorua, it was only a 15 minute drive, so we had plenty of options. We will certainly be back, and for longer next time.

O for awesome
My family travel to Rotorua multiple times a year for sports, normally we would stay in motels but thought we try book a Bach and see if it suits, all I can say that if you’re looking for for family accommodation … this is the one you want. The location is quiet (5mins to the lakes) and your surrounded by so much wildlife it’s hard to believe Rotorua town centre is only 10min drive away. The house is perfect as the living and dining areas are huge, the lounge has smart tv for everyone to enjoy as well as toys for the kids and books and board games for the teens. There’s a small seating area also if you need a bit of quiet time or separation from the rest of the family. If that’s not enough there’s a deck with BBQ table/chairs and a outside bath if you want to relax under the stars. The property also has pizza oven/fire place with table/seats, sandpit for the kids and also a spa pool but we didn’t use due to wet weather conditions. The rooms are spacious … one room has bunks for the kids another has kitchen and ensuite and the other has French doors with balcony. Basically there’s enough space here to do whatever you want without disrupting the rest of the family. I can go on and on about this place but it would never do it justices, all I can say if you’re looking for for a home away from home this is the place you need to book … trust me you won’t be disappointed. The host really looked after my family so we rated our stay 9/10 for our 2 night stay
