You will be relaxed from the moment you step foot on this property. Kerry is an amazing host and always answers any questions quickly. The property is nothing short of amazing. The gardens, the views and the hottub by the lakeside are all exactly what you need to feel you are on a private resort. We had a large group with lots of space to spare.

We had our annual family Easter holiday at the Willows and loved it. The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space, location is great and the communication with Kerry made our time away seamless.

This home was a real find. Truly lakefront with beautiful gardens and outlook, our family spent a lovely week here enjoying all the amenities and the very private and peaceful setting. We had 6 staying in the house and didn't feel cramped or claustrophobic in the slightest. There are plenty of places to find some alone time. Having a relaxing spa in a secluded garden nook with views out on the lake was the highlight for me! I highly recommend this property!

This is a wonderful house for extended family. The lakeside location with kayaks and life jackets provided is perfect. And the fantastic spa is also right on the water. Amazing view. Beautiful gardens. Two living rooms. Well stocked pantry and bathrooms. NB: The listing says 3 bathrooms but we didn't read the description properly which says third bathroom comes only when you rent the extra apartment. So we only had an ensuite and a main bathroom, which we made work. The only other issue we had for boat owners to be aware of is that there is a steep, windy driveway down to the property which we couldn't get our boat down. The DVD library is the largest I've ever seen - wow! Kerry responded promptly to all our questions. A beautiful, great value property. Highly recommend!

We had a blissful week at the Willows. The property was perfect for our group, with loads of space & separate areas & bedroom configurations. The kitchen was probably the most stocked we've ever seen with crockery, glasses, mugs, cutlery etc. We are looking forward to staying here again next time we're in Rotorua.

We are grateful for Kerry’s warm hospitality! The house was a perfect getaway for our family of 9, with lots of room to spread around and very cozy. Our teens love the kaya and the younger kids had a lot of movie selections. Kitchen was well stocked and the garden was lovely. Views from upstair room was stunning! We had a great stay and if we ever head back to Rotorua we would love to stay here again! Thanks Kerry ☺️

Beautiful home with panoramic views of the lake. Short drive to Town. Made use of the hot tub and the TV room. Kerry was a welcoming host and very easy to communicate with. Gave clear instructions on check in and check out. Offered some great ideas of activities and best places to eat in Rotorua. We will definitely be back. Thank you Kerry.

The Willows - 4/9 Jan 2021
Great location, right on the lake, place is really private and the house is spacious and ideal for a bigger group. Media room is great for the kids and spa was fun. Everything though is very tired. We had issues with white ware, a leaking roof, uncomfortable beds, missing or damaged bathroom hardware and pantry issues among other things. The place needs maintenance done on it asap otherwise others will no doubt have these similar experiences. At the price we paid we expected a better standard. Great spot but a slightly underwhelming experience overall. Could be amazing with some improvements.

A little bit of heaven in Rotorua
Fabulous experience from the welcome, the house and the amazing garden. We were a family of 11 from 18 months to a Nana. Something for everyone and the best equipped house I have ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

A great place for a family holiday
This is a big house at the lake edge (kayaks and a dinghy supplied). Very roomy and comfortable. Grreat communication with Kerry the owner who was welcoming and helpful. Would not really rate it as 'luxury' (it has more of lived-in feel) but it's great for an extended family gathering with kids. The kitchen is really well supplied, good laundry, nice spa pool, heaps of DVDs. We had an excellent time.

Superb position and views
This house is in a perfect position, overlooking Lake Rotorua. You can see the sunrise over the mountains at the other side of the lake and the clouds of steam from the vents over there as well. The property is very quiet and relaxing. There are lots of nooks and crannies in the garden, which make great spots for laying, partially, in the sun, just relaxing and thinking deep thoughts whist watching the swans swim by. The 65"tv is great for entertainment and there is a vast range of DVDs available to watch. We enjoyed our time at The Willows and are only sorry it was cut short by having to return to England before the corona virus travel restrictions bit. We will be back, in the future, to finish our trip.

Perfect location. Very roomy house. Beautiful yard Loved our stay
Just minutes from so many attractions. And after a long day it was so great to come back to BBQ and then relax in the hot tub or enjoy a movie in the movie room. Also Loved canoeing on the lake

Beautiful gardens on the lake
The property is filled with beautiful gardens and flowers. It is nestled back in a quiet neighborhood, situated on the lake. Black swans and ducks swim by the house all day. There is plenty of room for a large family- it sleeps 11. There are thousands of DVDs to watch-but we were never home to watch them. It is located 8-10 minutes from Rotorua downtown. Everything you need is provided. You have access to kayaks and canoes, linens, and a washer and dryer. It doesn't have AC, but the house cools down nicely with the windows cracked in the evenings. It was perfect.

Simply marvellous
If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing venue - with direct access onto the lake then this is just the ticket. We had an idyllic time, kayaking, relaxing on the deck - enjoying the view, the sunsets, the spa and the impressive home cinema set up. The location is quiet and not over looked. It's also close to all the major attractions - if you can tear yourself away from relaxing by the lake!
Highly recommended and the owner was very quick to respond to all queries. Would absolutely stay here again.
