    Amazing view of lake, loved the use of kayaks and life jackets! A lovely warm home, excellent decking, quiet location, comfy bedding. Modern and fresh interior. Such a great relaxing escape for the whole family. Short drive to bottle store, awesome cafe, takeaway shops etc.

    the house seemed a little more dated than the pictures online. The outside deck had spider webs everywhere. The views are fantastic.

    Wonderful house on a quiet street right on the lake. Enjoyed everything about it. Perfect location to get to nearby activities as well. Good communication with owners as well.

    First off, for some reason I thought this was a fancy new home from the listing, but actually it's an older home with some recent freshening up. Everything was clean, e.g. linens, towels, carpet, counters, but there were a few minor scuffs on walls and a little bit of mold in the shower. The house is on the lake with a nice view and backyard. Some of the hedges along the driveway were in need of pruning as they were hanging out into the driveway. Some patio furniture is bolted down and there are video cameras on the exterior. These touches made me question the safety of the neighborhood... that said, the neighborhood seemed fine. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

    Beautiful location, so peaceful and relaxing being right next to the lake. House was great with the big deck looking out across lake Rotorua. Kids had a blast playing in the safe shallow lake and on the jetty, the kayaks were brilliant too. Loved being away from the main city but close enough to get to all the great attractions, Ngongotaha township is a neat wee place with a nice fish and chip place and cafe too. Would definately stay again!! Many thanks Molly

    So cute and cozy! All the amenities we could ask for. Beds were very comfortable and the place was clean. We had a problem locking the door but our host was very responsive even though it was Sunday. She had a locksmith fix the door immediately.

    Lovely property in a great location for Rotorua attractions. Good communication from landlord. You can't beat kayaking from the bottom of the garden! Though the kayaks don't have seats which limits how long you can go without being uncomfortable. Also only one toilet/shower room which was a bit of a struggle for a family of 5!

    We loved the gorgeous views at the home. It was well appointed appreciated the fans and air conditioning units. Deck was lovely and covered during rainy days. Only issue was that the kayaks which were listed as three working units only had one out of three that actually floated without taking on water. In addition one of the paddles was broken. This was disappointing as we had hoped to explore the lake as a family.
