Property was good overall. The double bed was too had for out guests and they couldn't wait to leave.No bedside lamps in the double room either. Our queen bed was very comfortable. Lots of wood for rhe fire box ...thank you.

Enjoyed our stay, it was close to our event with a beautiful outlook

Beautiful property, quiet and close to lakes and the bush

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.

Great place close to whakarewarewa mountain biking, the redwoods and walking tracks. A lovely peaceful spot and the house is very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

Excellent warm and comfortable bach. Perfect for a family holiday.

Lovely property in a great location just far enough out of town

Stunning location in the native bush with easy access to Rotorua. Loved the stay.

Perfect house for two couples and three kids. well equiped, warm and clean and only a short drive from Rotorua. Highly recommend

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.

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.

very good thanks

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!

This property is perfect and the beautiful surroundings and birdsong made it very special.

Great location with very comfortable home

Our second time at this relaxing and tranquil bach. Suits our sporty family perfectly. Great space, large kitchen and bike storage. We feel so at home here. Thank you for sharing this bach.

You actually feel like you are waking up in a treehouse it’s amazing.

We had a fantastic three nights at the property. Great location, less than 10 mins from the Redwoods and perfect amount of space for us and our two kids. The property had everything we needed to make ourselves at home and perfect for exploring Rotorua from. We will be back.

Clean tidy comfortable and very spacious. A lovely bush setting that is quiet and tranquil.

Peaceful retreat, a great place to relax amongst nature. Would recommend this place to those who want a place to stay and recharge their life and be one with nature.

Plenty of space and rooms cannot be faulted. Returning soon hopefully!

We booked the Retreat on the Ridge as our base for us when we were getting married in Rotorua. Was great to leave the noise behind and get out to our sanctuary on the Ridge. Great vibe, awesome views and special place. Recommended

A beautiful house

Beautiful view and very quite location. Good place for relaxing, not far from the city.

Great place, Great views and great people to deal with, Highly recommended.

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 !

hugh house, very well designed and clean. High privacy but the only thing missing are chairs for sitting outside on the deck.

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.

Amazing property and location, we were very happy with this beautiful home in excellent condition :)

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.
