We had lovely holiday, thanks for lending a kayak to our son:)

An extremely pleasant comfortable state, such a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Rotorua! Close enough to everything, and such a peaceful outlook over beautiful bushland.

Had a good stay at the property. Kids loved the chocolate surprises. Comfortable stay with great mountain views.

Loved every aspect of our stay here from the decor to the welcome gift and friendliness of the hosts. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Property was clean and well appointed. Location quiet and secluded. Would stay again

We had a wonderful time here. So peaceful and so close to everything we wanted to do.

Looks welcoming and friendly when we entered the house. Gifted some eggs from their backyard and feijoas on a fruit bowl. If your a fond of feijoas this place is for you. And I love feijoas! thank you so much for having us.

Delightful spot and the owners have thought of everything!

Good location, friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

beautiful spot. The house was lovely

Great stay.

Quiet, comfortable, clean and all we could want

Lake okareka was a beautiful place to stay. The house was up a hill and very close to the lake with beautiful surroundings. The downstairs unit was charming and we enjoyed our time there.

Lovely apartment where we relaxed after busy days visiting local attractions. Recommend using the public BBQs by the lake - so beautiful. Host very helpful and accommodating, which we fully appreciated, along with the egss from the backyard chooks!

A lovely comfortable cottage

Our stay in the Lavender House was lovely. So many details had been thought of to make our stay special. The accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped. The eggs from the resident chooks was a nice surprise. Also appreciated the well informed tourist advice. A lovely oasis away from the bustle of nearby Rotorua. Thank you Chris and Nigel

Lovely property, easy access, has all you need. It was comfortable and perfect for our short stay.

Great place to stay and great hosts! Would definitely return. Lovely part of the world too.

This is a lovely property. The owners live on the top of the rental so this is a whole house and just the downstairs section is rented out. There is private access but you can hear the owners upstairs and park on a shared driveway. The space needs a deep clean but was fine for two nights. Note: there is only one queen size bed for for adults. The bunk beds are tiny and are only fit for small children under ten, and the sleeper couch in the lounge / kitchen area is the old fold design with the crease down the middle only fit for one person. So this works well for a couple sharing the queen with two small children on the bunk beds, but not for two adults sleeping separately as the other adult won't find a comfortable space. The kitchen is lovely. The bathroom is accessed through the children's bedroom. It's a 15 minute drive out of Rotorua. The pictures suggest a Lakeview but there isn't one - you have to walk to the end of the street to see the lake.

I opted to book this property to stay away from the stress of the city, couldn't have picked better. Lovely touches of a card, chocolates and backyard eggs were so welcoming, will love coming back to stay

What a beautiful place to stay :) We only stayed 2 nights but plan to come back again for longer in the future. The cottage was clean and tidy, had everything you could possibly need, loved the coffee machine. Beds were comfy and warm. It was no problem to park our boat in the driveway to keep it safe. A lovely quiet cottage in such a beautiful place. Only a 2 minute walk down to the lake and boat ramp. Will stay here now whenever we come to Rotorua instead of in the city itself. Just a quick 5 - 10 minute drive into Rotorua. Had the loveliest time. Thanks Christine and Nigel, don't change anything about this place :)

Will definitely recommend it to friends and family. And ever nearby will stay there again. Thanks so much

Great weekend away 😁

Easy as people to deal good experience.

bathroom walk thro second bedroom

The host had turned the heater on to warm up the place for us prior to our arrival. She was also super responsive on the chat.

Lovely spot. It had everything we needed. We all enjoyed our stay.

Hope to book again soon

Everything was easy. From booking to directions and access on arrival. Highly recommend

Nice little space. Very clean

Quiet little getaway, tidy and great hosts

We've really enjoyed our stay and the host was super helpful.
