10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Large house with spacious rooms and common areas. Hot tub was awesome and easy to use. View of the lake was good and deck was wonderful. Lots of room for a family of two adults and two adult children to enjoy. Supper location to explore all in Rotorua and all the fun stuff to do.

8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Good communication, clean house and hot tub, quiet neighbourhood with takeaways and a small supermarket a short walk away. Fully fenced which is dog-proof for even small dogs.Lovely little garden, the feijoa tree was full of fruit.During our stay I reported a bathroom window not closing properly, which resulted in midges flying in; and a ceiling leak, but they were not majorly affecting our stay.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Stunning interior and great amenities (Seasonal Tip included)
Pros:
Beautiful Decor: The house is full of character with a retro, artistic interior.
Great Amenities: The hot spa pool was a highlight, and having 2 bathrooms made our stay much more comfortable.
Well-equipped: The house has everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Cons / Caution:
Lake Fly Swarms: Do your best to avoid staying here during peak lake fly season. We made the mistake of using our phone flashlights while looking for the key at night and were completely surrounded by hundreds of flies in seconds.
Final Verdict: A great, high-quality stay. Just be mindful of the local environment and keep the lights dim when coming home at night!
