We had a great time. The location was perfect and the house had everything we needed. We would happily recommend to others and hope to stay again sometime
This was a great place for our short stay. The bach is pleasant and within easy walking distance of the lake. We really appreciated access to a few pantry staples.
Had a great stay here. The accomodation was spotless when we arrived. Great location as well, nice to be out of Rotorua but still close enough to drive to town easily.
Really enjoyed the location, spent a lot of time at Boyes beach just a few minutes away, and redwood forest. The house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of things to do for the kids. Would recommend this property, and love to return again.

So glad you enjoyed our home and are welcome back anytime!
We really enjoyed our stay - the house was compact but very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was spotless. The location was great, a very short walk to the lake front, and just a few minutes drive to the beautiful Boyes Beach, and to the mountain bike park.
Thank you Tracey for making everything as smooth as possible, house is a 10/10 family friendly clean tidy and perfect location. We absolutely enjoyed our stay will be back again :)
Our first time to the area and we will definitely be back. Property was well equipped and my two young boys were very excited with the toys/puzzles/board games. Fantastic holiday spot thank you

So glad you enjoyed your holiday and you are welcome back anytime!
We loved our time here, house was exactly as pictured and spotlessly clean. A perfect spot to enjoy the lake and Rotorua with kids, super family friendly and much better than a hotel with full cooking facilities, multiple bedrooms, etc. The kids absolutely loved the toy selection and the big backyard for races.
Exactly as advertised plus more. You won’t be disappointed with either the house or the surrounding village and area. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

We loved staying at this property. We found it very clean, tidy, well equipped. Communication with the property manager has been excellent. They have accommodated all our needs very easily. We would love to stay again.
The property was nice and clean and had a fire that kept the house very cosy in the middle of winter. It is a short drive to town and outdoor activities, and is an easy walk to the lake and the bird life is phenomenal. A really nice stay.

Beautiful spotless house, felt like a home away from home! Hosts are great to communicate with :) close enough to the boat ramp & Boyes beach, central to Rotorua and surrounding Lakes should you need to go there. Would highly recommend this place.
