    Clean accommodation to suit a couple, with most facilities provided you would expect, but no dishwasher. Comfortable bed. Steep drive to access

    Appreciated the garage, especially for rainy times. Great layout for 2 guests with wonderful views. Two minor issues were that the oven/stove control dials were unreadable so we were not sure what temperatures were being set; and Kleenex tissues were not supplied. We would definitely recommend to others or return ourselves to this charming location!

    Communication was smooth, mostly all went as expected and as described. Nice views from the living. Very close to the beach. Would recommend to use Steep Street for getting in and out, as it can be quite a sharp turn

    We loved our stay. We watched beautiful sunrises every morning, and the location was a quick walk to the lake. The bed was super comfortable, and the gardens were well kept. Thank you for making our stay in Rotorua a lovely one.

    This was a beautiful location overlooking Lake Okareka, with a quiet beach just a couple of hundred metres away. A place to relax and explore, a short drive from Rotorua but without the smell and the crowds! The only fault was illegible oven dials (looked up online) and a personal dislike of the rather orange floor….. but that didn’t detract from a very nice and comfortable stay.

    Millar's Hideaway is a super place! Clean, bright, surrounded by beautiful grounds and in a quiet neighborhood. Our neighborhood walks and the longer walks around the lake were both excellent.And while it's a mountain lake retreat home, it's also super convenient to Rotorua. Highly recommended!

    We had a problem with the BBQ. We communicated with the owner and he replied after a few hours.

    Kia Ora! We loved our visit to New Zealand and our stay in Lake Okareka. We were here to celebrate and witness our friends' wedding; the location was beautiful and the small house was just what we needed for the two of us. I loved the nook with benches to soak up the sun with morning coffee and it was a short walk down to the lake. We were busy enough with wedding events and others in the area, but if we had more time to hang out at the Lake, it would have been nice to find some water activities (kayaks, paddleboards, etc.). We appreciated all that was available in the home and it seemed clean from what we could tell. I appreciated the fan for the bedroom as I read in other reviews the bedroom can get stuffy even with the A/C unit on. Thank you for a wonderful stay - no complaints and thank you for the provided tea and coffee packets!
