We loved how much room there was in this home for our family of 5. The windows out to the lake makes everything so open. The beds were comfy, too! And we were able to cook a great steak dinner in their fully stocked kitchen.
Lovely property, amazing view of the lake without the sulphur stench of town. Beautiful area.
Comfiest bed we had on this trip by far.
Well equipped kitchen
Great place to stay
Comfortable, clean and spacious. Driveway is very steep, just something to be aware of. Just a few minutes drive to main town center. Beautiful sunrise views over the lake.
Gorgeous views of the lake tress in the background Well set out for visitors Slight downside very steep driveway to the house minor hiccup otherwise area and house great recommendation
This home was great for a family with children (we were 4 adults and 4 kids (3 - 11). Stairs and living areas were carpeted and nothing was 'chic'. Good house plan for separate bedrooms, access to several bathrooms and open plan living areas that accomodated everyone. We made good use of the second little lounge with tv which actually we used as a bedroom, kids tv sometimes and a play area.Kitchen was a basic fridge, benches, stove setup and reasonably stocked with cuttlery, crockery and additional appliances and we used this a lot. Weather was wet most of our stay (6 days) but this wasn't problem as we did activities to suit the weather every day and used the house to relax, cook together and have fun when home.Thanks.
This was a wonderful place to stay. It was kind of clean, not really dirty but some cobwebs and the patio had not been swept for a while. But the rest of the place was wonderful. Great location with a beautiful view. Lots of amenities very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
This was a beautiful spot for us - this time for taking part in the Tarawera Ultra, the location was less than 10 minutes out of town, so away from the hustle and bustle but an easy drive in. There was plenty of space for us to be together or have our own living quarters, the area was wonderfully quiet and the property clean with super comfortable beds and all the facilities we needed. Our host communicaton was very easy and prompt, we're already talking about coming back with our families!

Cozy and convinient
The kitchen area & living area is lovely! And love the fact the they have a smart tv which you can watch Netflix on. Came all the way from Malaysia and we love it!
A really lovely home in Roturua, with nice views of the lake. Our boys each had their own rooms, which they loved. Each room was separately cooled/heated. Everything was very tastefully decorated and clean. WE had everything we needed.
Our family of 4 with 2 older children was delighted with the space and views of this place. The neighbourhood is peaceful - sleeping was easy. The house is a luxury build across 3 levels which we all enjoyed. You do need a car here. Really nice.
We enjoyed our short stay in this property. You need a car to get around as the driveway to the house is very steep. Also this 3 story home will require some heavy lifting of baggage up the stairs. Once there everything is well provided and very comfortable.
This was a beautiful home overlooking the lake. It was bigger than I expected with two living rooms on the main floor and a fairly large kitchen. There were only a few kitchen staples on hand, so be sure to stock up on food items if you plan on cooking. Very nice to have a washer and dryer. We also liked having air conditioning in each of the rooms. Lovely home and thank you for having us!
Plenty of room. We had 4 separate adults. Each room had heat pump. Lovely home. Very spacious, nice view of lake.
Steep drive no problem if have any SUV.
