A character 1960 Scandinavian holiday home - great for families and pets.

A peaceful spot with a stunning view in a house straight out of a fairytale! So many cool things to do and see nearby or you can just stay in, play some board games and enjoy the vista. We found this property to be clean, tidy, and with everything we needed with some vintage charm. Great communication too - Tim was super helpful with tips. We can tell this is a much loved family home as well. Thank you!

Lots of space! Many rooms and lounging areas. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry. A shower and a bath. Beautiful views, great location for relaxing alone but also close enough to town (driving) to see everything.

a unique house with a kind soul. wonderful and hospitable host. thank you. we'll be back for sure.

Beautiful setting!

Incredibly beautiful views and such a lovely spot to unwind by the lake. We really enjoyed making use of the kayaks stored in the garage – a perfect way to get out on the water. The owner is genuinely friendly and goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and well looked after.There are plenty of games available, which was fantastic for us travelling with two little kids – they had a great time. The location also works really well as a base for exploring Rotorua, the geothermal areas, or even heading out for some rafting adventures.Like many places surrounded by nature, you might come across the odd mouse or spider – all part of the experience. The terrace and balcony could do with a little bit of TLC, but overall it’s a warm, relaxed, and enjoyable place to stay.

Excellent host - very helpful

Our host was very welcoming. Any questions were responded to speedily. The cabin is so cosy. Cooked a dinner and had no issues. Lots of homely comforts.

The view was gorgeous and we could spot many different kinds of birds. The place had everything we needed.

We had the most beautiful stay here. It was so relaxing and peaceful and the house was so quirky and interesting. There was wine and biscuits awaiting our arrival which was a lovely gesture.

We loved Tim's place. The views were amazing, the house was cozy, and we loved digging a hole at the hot water beach just below the house. It was magic!

Excellent

Quirky house with primo views and access to the lake. Hard work to get the kayaks to shore, but once down there it was great.

Thanks for sharing your place. Kids loved the water!

Beautiful, peaceful location. Fun accomodation

Fantastic location with beautiful views. Loved the comfortable homey feel. Everything we needed was there. House is clean beds warm and comfortable . Had a very relaxing couple of days

Very special property with beautiful views and lots of wildlife

Excellent host, very kind.

What an incredible unique bach! Loved the location overlooking the lake and the house was so cozy. Communication and check in was so easy. If you're visiting from overseas, arrive while the sun is up! The road in might make you nervous (you'll be fine!)

Tim and Hannah were so nice, and went out of their way to come out set aHeater for us. Equipment there for paddle boarding kayaking. Nice and quiet place

Stunning views and house has everything you need! So peaceful with lots to do in the area.

Amazing views & bird life. Interesting house which our kids loved. Spacious & quiet. We used to have a family bach nearby so it was great to revisit the area. Hope to come again!

Beautiful surroundings, extra special house, away from the hustle and bustle. Everyone loved it!! Felt like a little hobbit home in the trees

My friend and I stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip. We couldn’t have been happier. The views alone are worth it. We got to cook full meals as we watched the sun rise and set. We paddleboarded to different hot water spots and to bird watch. You could even walk in the water to a secluded beach where the tuis and fantails were everywhere! We loved this place and are so grateful we got to experience it would highly recommend!

Beautiful character home set in the bush not far from the lakes edge. Good access to the kayaks. Stunning sunsets. Comfortable beds and places to relax.

We had a lovely relaxing time, Tim suggested we catch to boat to Rotoiti hot pools which we caught from the jetty down from the house. It was amazing! Loved the character of the house and view was awesome.

We had a great stay - the kids didn’t want to leave. Great place, fun rooms, awesome location. We highly recommend it!

Great spot for a relaxing getaway. Would highly recommend

Excellent location for a summer getaway, suburb views, great kiwi batch with exceptional hosts. The hot water beach and ability to kayak from the house to the near by hot springs is a bonus! We look forward to staying again.

Fantastic location. Great family get away.
