Just what we needed

The accomodation is perfect. Fresh, clean, the right size, comfortable, peaceful. We enjoyed the quiet and just sitting outside on the deck. An easy walk to the local shops either through a reserve or on the street. It’s nice that it is out of town but close enough to head in to the CBD. Contact before and in the lead up to with the host was great. Very reassuring for first time BaB users. All the amenities you would need.

Slice of paradise

Excellent!! Awesome!! Amazing!! We had two nights at Ngongotaha Cottage and absolutely loved it. Tanya met us at the property and showed us where everything was. Anything we wanted was provided - we were are group of two adults and two doggos and the living areas / bedrooms were spacious, the backyard was fully fenced and gorgeous to sit in. I'm already looking forward to my next stay :-)

Home away from home

It was wonderful to come home after adventures every day to such a charming, comfortable house. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to create evenings meals that we enjoyed eating both inside and outside on the sunny deck. The house decor is tasteful, with ample room in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen to put all personal items and groceries. Our 5 year old enjoyed the toy box and games. Beds are big and comfortable with good linen. The house was warm and there were many heaters available if it got colder. Behind the house there’s a nice walk down a stream to a playground and the village centre. We didn’t spend any time in the village itself (apart from stocking up from the supermarket) opting to drive out to explore further afield every day, but we were very happy to come back to such a nice place every evening.

Great location to base ourselves for the Rotorua section of our family road trip. Fully equipped house with comfortable clean facilities and all the extras you could want. Can’t say enough good things about our kind hosts who went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend for family or friend groups

Tastefully presented . WOW.

Nicely presented with modern furnishings, and everything worked which is a bonus. The three bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Two bathrooms which is great. Would be ideal for families with plenty of room in living area books and board games. A delightful property with tidy gardens with plenty of outdoor furniture, would we stay again.YES.

Perfect location and accommodation for Rotorua adventure

A lovely, spacious home well sited to explore all that Rotorua has to offer. This three bedroom home is larger than it looks in the photos with great furniture and fittings. Excellent heating for when it is cold and a wonderful garden to sit in when the sun's out. Tanya is a great host and made it all so easy. Thanks Tanya and for the chocolate treat!
