Location is wonderful and quiet. Lake front is spectacular! The house is equipped really well for large groups, really clean, cosy and all facilities were great. Use of the kayaks was an added bonus! Plenty of space for larger groups to have different zones to peel off to. The back deck was a highlight!! Fantastic view, lots of seating, BBQ was immaculate!

The 6 bedroom and 4 bathrooms suited us just right. The large kitchen and a dining table big enough for us all to sit at and share stories after the race was just great. The outdoor spa went down a treat after the run as well. I would highly recommend the lakeside lodge for your next big group getaway. ##### Paul B.

Unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t get to use a lot of the facilities like kayaks or spa. The kitchen area smelt a little damp but that was probably the endless rain. Great living and outdoor area with views of the lake. ##### Michelle D. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. Mar 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location location location (and more) Several friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this property, especially for its location right on the lake and central point for numerous other activities. Having the separate guesthouse was perfect given the size of our group. We would have enjoyed the deck and kayaks a bit more if it hadn't been for Cyclone Gabrielle passing through and dumping lots of rain and big gusts of wind on us! ##### David B.

Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful place to land Our group stayed here on our first nights in-country, and had various flight delays and other challenges. Nicky was very communicative and helpful as our arrival times changed more than once. The lakefront was a lovely calm quiet place to recover, watching the birds and sunset. The village of Ngongotaha itself, and the north side of the lake, are also calmer alternatives when Rotorua is a bit tourist-hectic. We would definitely stay here again. ##### David H.

Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and serene Intentionally designed home with space for both small and large groups. Comfortable beds, cozy nooks, and a warm fireplace made this property a home away from home for us. The views of the lake and wildlife are unparalleled. The hot tub is a nice opportunity and has such a great view on the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We even managed to get out with the kayaks which was a gift with some drizzling July rain. The location is a touch away from the busy downtown area but remains accessible by a short drive and no sulfur smells like some other homes had as comments from other travelers. ##### Jason R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean W. May 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything we wanted and more! Great water pressure, endless hot water, fluffy towels and kitchen knives that actually cut... this place has all the little details that make a difference. Our extended family group of 9 found the lodge perfect as a home base to explore the region, but also spent some time in the lodge enjoying the morning sun on the deck and the kids canoeing out front. It didnt matter what activity we did, it was always great to come home to a house that felt cosy yet had so much space! Would recommend for larger groups and families, and will definitely book again if we come back to Rotorua. ##### Sean W.

If we ever get back to Rotorua, this will be where we want to stay again! We had a hard time leaving. Every morning waking up to the Rowers on the wide open lake with good coffee while sitting on a huge deck was something that we will treasure as a memory forever! The pictures and description in the listing don’t do this place justice. We all thought we had landed in heaven! The spacious family room was exactly what we needed for our big group and the windows - oh my! As I write this review, I want to go back! We loved everything about this property! And we were able to easily get to all our activities from here! ##### Kari E.
