I stayed in mid-July and found the property to be lovely and warm. The heat pump was more than sufficient to keep the home comfortable throughout my stay. It was peaceful and quiet, yet still conveniently close to town. For me, it was the perfect place to stay, and I would happily return.Kind regards,Daisy

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.

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

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!

A lovely retreat
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!
