The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views right on the water. The home was easy to access and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for our group of seven.One of the highlights was the kayaks, which allowed us to explore the lake up close, paddle through the amazing lily pads, and even spot sheep grazing across the water—a truly unique experience! The showers were fantastic as well, adding a touch of luxury to our stay.This property exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, well-equipped getaway in Rotorua. ##### Sheela H.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew C., Auckland, New Zealand. Mar 10, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not up to the mark expected. Nice location, beautiful outlook, plenty of indoor space and grassed area towards the lake. Good supply of Air Con units around the house and the furniture was all reasonably good. Good storage in the garage and plenty of driveway space for up to three cars. However, the place really needs a deep clean and some general maintenance, seems pretty neglected in a lot of ways. The adjoining rental is a bit weird with a direct access hollow core door opening onto the internal landing of the master bedroom, easy to hear conversations ! We had a rat in the kitchen eating food overnight, even saw it scuttle under the stove. Management company were informed but seemed not too concerned ? – they have traps under some of the furniture apparently ! Forget bringing a boat. The lake access isn’t deep enough for anything heavier than a jet ski, this would be a struggle though, and muddy. If the adjoining accommodation is being occupied there is effectively nowhere to keep the boat, the driveway is too steep and a sharp transition onto the road. Unfortunately, with borders closed for the last 2 years there has been plenty of price gouging for peak holiday periods, owners may need to re-think this if they want good occupancy going forward. So overall, okay place, but overpriced for what is delivered. With over 12 years renting great places in the lakes district, I wasn't too impressed with this one, but it could be improved. ##### Andrew C.

Also i very quiet location House was found very clean and tidy. Plenty of room and the deck area was great for all day relaxing. The only negative, was that there was only 2 tea towels and no kitchen cloths and little cleaning options. Overall a great stay ##### Stuart J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody M., Hamilton, New Zealand Oct 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Scenic Paradise Perfect location for our wedding accommodation, beautiful location on Lake Okareka we were so lucky to have wonderful weather and take advantage of the kayaks on the lake! Would happily rebook again! ##### Jody M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachael B.

Lots of heat pumps and a wood fire. Interior was a little tired in places and kitchen needed more platters and cutlery for our big group. Would rent again ##### Rachael B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2020
