Rotorua holiday
The property was fantastic! Very clean and well maintained with everything needed for an extended stay. The layout was perfect for two couples or a large family! It was easy to get to main attractions and Eat Street at night for a meal. It had a secure garage for the car and easy access to the lake. Awesome accommodation and would definitely stay again. Well done to our hosts!!!

Had a pleasant stay and property was clean. Fast internet. Had games to keep kids entertained. Decent sized rooms with comfy beds. Cons: - Found the layout a bit odd (living room upstairs, bedrooms downstairs) - Dishwasher tablet compartment was broken - A/C only in main living area. Had to use fans for bedrooms as it was hot. - The detergent compartment in washing machine was a bit dirty. - Ensuite was tiny :|

Excellent location
My family loved staying at this home. Excellent location on the east side of the lake for easy access to all the family activities. Great view of the lake. Two living areas upstairs so the kids could watch tv in one room while the adults were in the kitchen/dining/living. Downstairs rooms with bunk beds for the kids and master with ensuite were fantastic. We will be coming back. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay and the place exceeded our expectations. It was ideal for my partner and I and our two children (6 and 3). Handy location, good quality furnishings and the kayaks were a nice bonus. The property managers were also great to deal with. We can highly recommend.

Great House
We were two couples. The Kingsize beds were very comfortable with nice crisp linen, and bedrooms and the bathrooms were on either size of the house. The house had a nice view of the lake, one back from the lake front, was well equipped and clean. We had come to Rotorua to bike the cycle tracks in and around The Redwoods area. The house is about 7kms from the city centre but there is a cycle track very nearby the house so the distance from town did not bother us, it was a flat easy ride into the city. It certainly met our expectations and we had a very pleasant stay.
