Perfect accommodation for a family with easy access to everything and the house and surrounds are lovely. Beautiful outlook straight on to the lake, and the kayaks for an early morning paddle were a bonus! Would have loved to stay longer and would book again.

The property was OK, but now needs a bit of updating. We returned to the property again this year having enjoyed our stay in early 2023. Unfortunately, after two days of our grandchildren playing in the lake we noticed nobody else was. We made enquiries to the local authorities and were advised that it was unsafe for water sports owing to algae bloom. This curtailed many of the listed activities of the property and one child developed a rash on his neck. We were extremely disappointed that the health warning in force at the time was not passed on to us when we arrived by the owner, who was actually at the property when we checked in, either verbally or in the property information.

We loved our stay here so much that we extended our booking by a day just so we could enjoy that wonderful view for a bit longer! Debra the property manager was very quick to respond to this request (even though we made it quite late at night). This house is close to everything and had everything we needed, including very comfy beds!

This property was fantastic and met all of our needs. The location and view were spectacular! A nice new kitchen made all the difference to cooking in. There were lifejackets for the kayaks and extra beach towels. A couple of folding chairs in the laundry were put to good use sitting on the private beach watching the kids in the kayaks. It was nippy at night but with a heat pump and wall heater we were toasty. Would definitely stay here again. The kids loved it!

Magnificent views and we loved the black swans. The location is good for for all things. The night sky was incredible. We did the Hells Gate mud baths and it took only 25 minutes to drive there. There’s ac in the living room and it works well. We had a wonderful time in Rotorua.

Had a super stay at Deborah’s house - everything we needed in a clean, warm, comfortable house with super views over the lake, and beach front access for an early morning swim, or a paddle on the lake in the sit-on kayaks provided. Great kitchen and laundry facilities, first-rate accommodation with private aspect and good security. Walking distance to a 4-square store. Very easy communication with Deborah and overall the house and experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Wonderful Lake Location

Wonderful Lake Location

We really enjoyed our week here, soaking up the views and soaking in hot pools around Rotorua. The kitchen is beautifully modern with nice appliances and every utensil you could need on hand. The rest of the batch is older style and decor but is still very clean and well maintained. The bed linen and pillows are outstanding, to rival any top hotel I have stayed in! Great showers and a nice bath. The outdoor area is superb with tons of space to relax and for the kids to play. You can enjoy your own private beach and mess around on the Kayaks. The local area has a couple of takeaways and dairies for supplies or there are Countdowns and Pak N Saves only a few minutes drive away. Its also a great base to see all the local attractions, the spas and the luge etc are all very close. Would love to return next year, would recommend this bach to anyone especially for families.
