Beautiful and Quiet Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property. It was nice to be just out of town so we could have a busy day out and come home to the peace and quiet of this neighbourhood. The spa was phenomenal and the view from the house was awesome. The property is set up to cater for a large number of guests but even with just two of us we felt cosy. We'd recommend and stay again.

Beautiful Home and Stunning Garden

Three generations plus a dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Absolutely beautiful home accommodated all our needs and more. Stunning gardens and views. Our only regret is having so much booked to do in Rotorua that we did not have as much time as we would have liked just to enjoy the gorgeous house and gardens together.

Amazing views!

This home was very comfortable for our extended family to stay in. The highlights for us were definitely the incredible views, trampoline, gardens (we were lucky enough to be there when hundreds of Mandarin oranges were ripe on the trees!) and huge hot tub.
