Charming Holiday Hideaway near the Lake

The house was tastefully presented, everything we needed for a two night stay was in there, the kitchen had all the utensils and equipment we needed in working condition and ready to use. (loved the coffee machine!! bonus!!)The bathroom was clean and well stocked. The linen and bedding was adequate. Heating was good. Really good place to stay with a small family. Tips: The lower bunk in the second bedroom needs some slats to hold up so good for kids but no so much for elderly/older people. Although, not very far from main shops etc, come prepared with food / groceries if you are planning to cook. The bathroom and toilets are accessible through the second bedroom (with bunk beds). so okay for a family with kids but if you are sharing with friends, make sure those you place in this room are prepared for night visitors :):) Really nice place, highly recommended, will definitely stay again if in Rotorua.

The property was unique, extremely clean and provided us a home away from home for a couple of days. It had everything you could possibly need and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend it.

Delightful spot and the owners have thought of everything!

Lake okareka was a beautiful place to stay. The house was up a hill and very close to the lake with beautiful surroundings. The downstairs unit was charming and we enjoyed our time there.

We really enjoyed staying here. There were lovely extras chocs and a coffee maker delicious. The house is little but really well thought out - making for a comfortable stay. The owners are next door so easy communication and really helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely quiet place, out the way of the hustle of the town. Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. It’s an ideal bolt hole if you’re ever in the area

The property was lovely and clean. Very peaceful.

Fantastic place to stay, a lovely location close to the lake, so peaceful and quiet. The apartment was perfect for our family with everything we needed, very clean and spacious, we stayed for one night but would definitely stay longer next time! Highly recommended.

Well resourced cottage. Helpful hosts. Location near easy boating access was a highlight. Room layout a bit tight with bedroom 2 being bathroom across walkway.

Perfect for all our needs. Thank you.

Absolutely love staying here.Loved the nature, the birds.Such a cozy little home away from home.And not to far away from the city.Thanks for letting us stay Chris and Nigel.Will gladley be backto stay.

Charming cottage in a beautiful spot. Everything thing you could possibly want in a holiday location. With amazing attention detail by the owners.

Cosy cottage well situated near good the fishing points. Very warm and comfortable with very nice hosts. We will be back.

Great property and great surroundings.

Fabulous place , fabulous people ! Do recommend , would book again with pleasure !

Comfortable and cosy place to rest our heads as we spent Christmas with friends in the area. Would highly recommend.

A gorgeous cottage surrounded by nature with everything we needed. The heat pump and fluffy rugs were perfect as it was cool and rainy, and we had just left 40 degrees in Western Australia. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was nice and clean. I love my privacy so really appreciated the seclusion from the main house, although I think a greeting on arrival would be nice in this situation, when staying in accommodation attached to a main residence.

Very cute accommodation, close to the lakes and great coffee machine. Easy access and great communication with a good sized kitchen. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay .

Tidy and well equipped. Our hosts are friendly and take pride in their hospitality

lovely cottage, very clean and tidy, and nice extras (like the coffee pods etc) great location, and so peaceful

Very nice quiet place with lovely surroundings.

This was a beautiful apartment. It was spacious and comfortable. The wifi worked well and the TV had a lot of choice. The bathroom was a little odd in its location as you had to go through the second bedroom to get to it but it was very clean and functional. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was a full kitchen (without a dishwasher) and immaculately clean. The coffee maker and selection of coffees was a lovely touch (thank you). The location was perfect for us to visit the lake and Rotorua. We enjoyed lovely walks around the lake and neighbourhood. The instructions were clear and accurate and we had absolute privacy. An excellent stay. We loved watching the birds and cats. We highly recommend this apartment..

It was good to stay out of the big town of Rotorua though it was only a short drive away for groceries etc. The kitchen was well equipped, but the bathroom is accessible only through kids bedroom. The bathroom had a towel warmer which was nice. We highly recommend a visit to The Buried Village (nearby tourist attraction)

Comfortable stay in lovely location. Coffee machine was a bonus. Only quibble was having to go thru second bedroom to get to bathroom. Thanks for the digs. M

Beautiful property that we have returned to, has everything we wanted and kind helpful owners

Very clean and warm. Great location short walking distance to the lake. Hosts Chris and Nigel very accomodating
