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.

Beautiful home nestled in the ngahere

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!!

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.

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!

Nice house, good facilities. But lack of a tv, radio, and even a clock was an issue as the weekend was wet so nothing to do at house. Lovely location. Feel that no T.v should have been clearly stated as would not have booked for a weekend with 5 people. low bed firm and hard to get out of. Shower soap please. And pepper !

Beautiful views from house.

Beautiful views from house. Location very quiet, peaceful with easy access to bike and walking paths. House easily accommodated 2 families (4 adults and 4 children) in the living spaces and was very comfortable but lacked enough beds for the children. I would recommend bunk beds in the children's room or a couple of trundle beds. Plenty of kitchen equipment including slow cooker. No corner store in village - required 10 minute drive into Rotorua. Highly recommended.

Good location, in walking distance of one of Rotorua's lakes and and short drive to the West Okatainga walkway. Spa bath with a view is a nice addition, as is the wood fire downstairs. Had some minor problems with the kitchen, but nothing major.
