There is nothing like walking bear foot on soft woollen carpets while talking in jungle or beautiful views from the many windows. We all loved this home. The hosts had thought of everything you could need.

Clean and spacious.
Perfect set up if you’re planning to use as a base fir biking.
It is a bit of a walk down to the water or a very quick drive.

Beautiful home nestled in the ngahere
Thankyou for the beautiful relaxing homestay, we loved the relaxed feeling this home provided nestled in the forest, the only thing we could all say was that the beds were quite uncomfortable and for 6 adults there was only one small oven dish to cook in. The rooms would benefit with some mirrors too, this is not negative feedback just something that may help the owners look to improve in the future :) otherwise everything else was perfect!!

Family Trip October
Amazing outlook and very tranquil settings, loved how quiet and relaxing the property was. All the family loved it for the peace and quiet, the close proximity to the Redwoods and for the space in the home for us to have a home away from home for the long weekend.

Spacious bach in beautiful and quiet area
Close to Rotorua, in a peaceful area right next to lake Okareka. The view from the deck is truly enjoyable with the surrounding hills. The bach is spacious and confortable.
A few details: the gate around the fire place is not ideal (but understand it is a security feature for kids most likely). And it would be nice to have more glasses in the kitchen (other than plastic ones).
Overall, we did enjoy our stay and would recommand it to others!
