    Very caring host, giving us good driving instructions ahead of time and a supply of food for breakfast taking in consideration the dietary restrictions of my spouse.

    What an incredible stay and views. Wish we had more days so we could have taken the kayaks out. Easy and relaxing surroundings. Well stocked and the courtesy yogurts, milk and fresh baked brownies were awesome!!

    Great experience from the first contact with Geraldine - she clearly enjoys being a welcoming host and that impression was reinforced by the picturesque garden and homely interior of the property, plus the generous and unexpected supplies. Not quite off the grid as you still have wifi and close to Rotorua.

    Do yourself a favour and stay here. The location is sublime, there's everything you could need in the cottage, and the host is beyond kind and helpful. Rotorua is an easy drive away (without the crowds and volcanic smells), and it's convenient to a multitude of other ways to while away a relaxing break. We'd happily return.

    Property was very nice! I do wish I read the property listing a little closer about the heat source being a free-standing fireplace and a space heater. However, it all worked out. Geraldine was very responsive and catered very well to a dietary restriction we had so many thanks for that :) ! Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and watching the sun go down was awesome!

    Nice property and a beautiful location, right on the lake. Check-in was easy and the host left some items to make breakfast. We had a great time.

    Geraldine welcomed us with so many lovely touches, we were completely overwhelmed. The cottage was even better than described - beautifully furnished - and surrounded by expertly tended gardens, full of interesting plants and artifacts. Lake Rotorua changed constantly so was great to sit out with a drink and enjoy the peaceful views. Wonderful to be away from the busy town, but it was easy to get to everything we wanted. A very good decision!

    Generous host. Great communication. Lovely home on edge of lake. Shame it was too wet and windy to fully appreciate kayaks and private beach.
