    Cosy, warm Bach with an incredible view. This was our second time visiting this Bach and it didn’t disappoint. Made use of the pizza oven this time, twice as it was a big hit with the teens. Having the boat in the boat shed was a real luxury. The weather hit but we were warm and cosy and played board games and looked at the view in comfort.

    A gorgeous location with a simple bach but so many fun extras. Our children spent lots of time out on the kayaks. Being right on the lake was both so practical and also a real treat. We’d love to come back.

    A lovely house, had everything we needed for 2 families - well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, plenty of space inside and out to relax and play games, watch dvd’s, and relax by the fire after a day out - absolutely perfect for our winter stay. Kids enjoyed a paddle on the lake. Close enough to the centre of town (maybe 20 min drive) to be convenient. That view was beyond belief. Thanks for having us :)

    We stayed here with our son for 6 nights and absolutely loved the Bach, grounds, access to the lake, stunning view and tranquility. Being able to bring the dog was an absolute bonus. The Bach is well set up with everything you need. Activity wise you are spoilt for choice with kayaking from your own jetty, walking around the lake or further afield, mountain biking and all the other attractions Rotorua has to offer or just lazing on the deck with a book. Highly recommended

    Family long weekend, jet skiing on the lake, mountain biking at the red woods. Ate out at Eat Street and spent plenty of time chilling on the deck looking at that view. Cute modern, clean, tidy, well equipped Bach with ever changing views of the lake. Great location, can be active with all that Roturoa has to offer or take it easy n unwind just chilling at the Bach. We will defo be back.

    On arrival we were blown away with the location and view, simply breathtaking. As a family group of eight adults and one baby under one we were well catered for with beds which were comfy. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with all we needed. Access to the lake and kayaks was easy. All on all, a very relaxing weekend enjoyed by all of us.

    It’s a lovely place to be, we lived on the deck and at night made use of the extensive movie selection! It’s got that great Kiwi bach feel with everything you need and extras for a lovely stay, good or bad weather. So good to be able to have the dogs. Two adult kayaks were well used by us. Quick walk down the path to the lake through a little slice of bush, just beautiful. We were lucky no neighbours were there for most of our stay, but we did find it pretty close when they’re there.

    The location is fantastic, and the kayaking on the lake is a great experience for all of us. I can highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rotorua. I would prefer if they provided an internet connection, as it is the only thing we were concerned about. I would give it six out of five stars.

    My family, husband and two daughters took my old school friend who was over from the UK and another school friend who drove up to Wellington to Jeff’s Bach. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind and reconnect with old friends. The Bach was spotless and well equipment with everything we’d ever need. The beds were very comfortable and in a great configuration so everyone had plenty of room. The highlight for us though was the breathtaking views from the deck. 180 degrees of lake view and stunning bush. We particularly enjoyed all the birds, over 20 species spotted in our short stay. We feel very lucky to have stayed there. Thanks Jeff!
