Amazing views, wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Venetta Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vic Jan 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing house with amazing views This is a beautiful house on top of a hill overlooking Lake Rotorua. Amazing views. We enjoyed this house immensely and wish we had stayed there longer. It's important to note though that this is a house and not a hotel. So you have to coordinate your arrival with the owner to give you the garage door opener to get in. There is also therefore no maid service or restaurants. We didn't have an issue with this as it was cleaner than a hotel when we arrived and we don't typically need maid service often. But you should know this before booking if it bothers you. It's a really wonderful house with such wonderful views, we didn't want to leave the house. Also very quiet for a good night's sleep. ##### Vic Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barb, Brisbane Jan 18, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Breathtaking views backed up with absolute luxury One night in paradise. The Tihi Retreat is very well appointed. The beds are super comfortable, seperate en suites for three of the rooms, every detail thought about and covered. Kitchen fully serviced. Fruit on the bench, cans of cold drinks in the fridge, a decent coffee machine. Totally not one complaint. We will be returning and hopefully stay for a week. This is by far the best place in all of Rotorua. 360 degree views. Woke to the feeling: I'm the King of the Castle :) Spectacular. Thank you :) :) ##### Barb ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannie, Singapore Jun 15, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Everything This place was absolutely amazing. Perfect location, awesome view. Love the audio system, tastefully furnished, this is one of the most beautiful house we stayed. Thank you to our host, Steve. ##### Hannie ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Abu Dhabi Emirate](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Abu-Dhabi-Emirate.d6053838.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lindsay](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Lindsay.h10589055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Olds](https://www.expedia.ca/Olds-Hotels.d6139554.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hôtel Castel](https://www.expedia.ca/Granby-Hotels-Hotel-Castel.h5765124.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort- Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hideaway-At-Royalton-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h8825616.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels.d6141041.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Winnipeg Airport-Polo Park, MB](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Winnipeg-Airport-Polo-Park.h6828414.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Vancouver Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Convention-Centre-Hotels.0-l6127461-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to West Columbia (CAE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/cae/detroit-to-columbia) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to College Park (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/atl/london-to-atlanta) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyj/winnipeg-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/lhr/kelowna-to-london) > > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/del/seattle-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Tamarindo (TNO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/tno/calgary-to-tamarindo) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/amd/edmonton-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando.d178294.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Sir Winston Churchill Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sir-Winston-Churchill-Square-Downtown-Edmonton.d507187.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Waikoloa Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa.d183158.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Puerto Rico Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Rico-Island.d180021.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Tarrytown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarrytown.dx7243)
