Guest Reviews

• Sarah (10/5): - Everything was cosy and perfect.
• Martene (9/5): A wonderful relaxing getaway - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quiet and convenient location. It was perfectly situated for exploring, being so close to Rotorua and Lake Tikitapu, and only a short walk to the edge of Lake Ōkāreka itself. The accommodation was cute, well-appointed, and filled with thoughtful inclusions. We especially loved the nice outdoor BBQ area opening onto a private garden setting and having a great local food market nearby. Personal preferences only: the bed and couch were a little softer than we are used to, larger cooking pans (handy for cooking pasta) would be a great addition to the kitchen, and a floor lamp in the living area would make reading in the evenings much easier.
• Ken (8/5): It was a pleasant, cosy place to stay during inclement weather and a possible imminent cyclone. - We liked the spaciousness, privacy, the cosy lounge area, the kitchen facilities and dining area. We appreciated the washer/dryer and other appliances. There was a lack of air flow in the bedroom with no window to open.
• Suzanne (7/5): - In photos looked bigger
• Baer279 (9/5): sehr schöne Unterkunft, groß und gut ausgestattet; man hört aber (selten) vorbeifahrende Autos - schönes großes Appartment, super ausgestattet, schöner Garten, gute Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern WLAN hat nicht gut funktioniert, das war aber wohl nur kurzfristig; die Straße geht direkt am Schlafzimmer vorbei und die Schalldämmung ist nicht sehr gut, aber es fahren nachts wenig Autos
• Alex (8/5): -
• Alison (10/5): -
• Greta (9/5): Excellent stay in very pleasant accommodation. Highly recommended - The location was excellent. The accommodation very comfortable and tastefully furnished. Also a very nice outside area.
• Neil (9/5): - Beautiful location and garden
• Robyn (9/5): -
• Denise (9/5): -
• Eric (9/5): - Idéalement placé au calme et pas trop loin de la ville, idéal pour admirer les étoiles le soir au bord du lac.
• Mathew (10/5): - Cosy, neat and clean getting into the parking slot was difficult and getting out was very difficult as another car blocked our exit for 2 days
• Andrew (8/5): -
• Mimi (10/5): Great location - Lovely cottage located close to Rotorua. Nothing
• David (9/5): Comfortable, clean accommodation in amazing location - What a comfortable, well-maintained and relaxing retreat for a few days in the Rotorua area. Super shower, comfy beds and nice outdoor eating area. Just a short walk to the lake with super swimming and a great path (up and down in plaves) all the way around the lake. It felt like a few days of real luxury. Access was really easy with good communication from out hosts. Not a lot not to like here! My only minor, very minor, suggestion is that it would have been helpful to have a larger cooking pan. The largest wasn't quite big enough to prepare a pasta meal for a hungry family of four. That said, there was an air fryer, small oven and electric frying pan so we managed fine, we just cooked in batches.
• Sarah (10/5): Wonderful stay and an oasis in a rainy road trip! - Susie was an exceptionally responsive host. The cottage was cute and well appointed. We throughly enjoyed our stay!
• Dmitry (9/5): Amazing quite place to stay for a couple - Great cottage, close to a lake Wi Fi connection was not consistent
• Louise (8/5): Comfortable Rotorua stay - Very nice room and view. Comfortable bed. Close to the Redwood tree walk. Very small kitchen space. We found no paper towels or kleenex.
• clarke (10/5): Excellent accomadation nice and private, i didnt know it existed, very quiet area. - We had a wedding near by so couldnt have been any better for location, nice host and certainly would stay there again very private and quiet. Every thing was fine.
• Stella (9/5): -
• Julie (10/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): Good stay, would recommend - A nice and cozy cottage. Conveniently located near to various attractions /activities. Easy short walks are within walking distance to the cottage. The premises was not sufficiently cleaned prior to our arrival. Spoke to the owner and she was apologetic. Despite this setback, I would still recommend staying at the cottage.
• Donna (9/5): Relaxing getaway - The cottage was clean, tidy and dry. It had everything we needed. And most importantly, the beds were super comfortable. It's walking distance from the lake and other beautiful places. Easy drive to forest and hotpools. Because of the gloomy weather my eyesight wasn't too good and I struggled with the lack of light. Perhaps a good idea to have a reading light next to the couch or by the table.
• Marylise (10/5): Exceptional - The cottage was fully stacks with everything you would need or want. Beautiful views, clean and neat.
• Sarah (8/5): Very good -
• Stephen (10/5): A wonderful little place to stay near a stunning lake. - Everything we need was there, it was set in a lovely location and we enjoyed using the many amenities. The hosts provided chocolates, cookies and flowers on our arrival and were very welcoming.
• Young (10/5): Relaxing environment, that made you feel as though you were retreating somewhere without a big drive - The host was incredibly accommodating, very kind to us regarding extra requests and we loved the cookies on the table. The property was conveniently located close to the shops, so we were able to get dinner with ease. The environment was so peaceful, and my favourite was looking out at the bush from the bedside. We definitely will return with our children in the near future as there are bunk beds there, which is an added bonus.
• Estella (2/5): We didn't get what we have paid for. - We have to bring our own breakfast. The location is far from the town centre. This we already know but this is not the issue. We have booked a two bedroom house. It turned out to be a one bedroom house. A one bedroom house shouldn't cost us $269.10/ night !!!
• Angela (8/5): Lovely accommodation . Peaceful and relaxing. - Lovely cottage that provided everything we needed for our stay. Lovely area. Very quiet and peaceful. Thank you for the hotcross buns!! Lighting was a little bit dim as some bulbs were out. Would have preferred it to be brighter in the bathroom for applying makeup for a wedding.
• Liza (8/5): Great location and good value. - Quiet location in close proximity to lakes. Issues with dryer and washing machine, which need replacing.
• Ann (10/5): We loved our stay at the cottage. The accommodation is lovely, well equipped and a fantastic locatio - Amazing location. Beautiful cottage and very well equipped
• Robs (8/5): Very good -
• Marie (8/5): Relaxing place to stay. - Comfortable unit. Just right for a few days. Lots of walking trails around a very nice lake close by. Unit is clean and well kept. We were there on a weekend and there is some traffic noise from people going to the Lake, but it’s not horrible.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janet (7/5): Met expectations and requirements -
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -

• Kerri (9/5): Lovely little cottage - Very cute, clean, and private cottage in a lovely location. Close to town and the redwoods. Nice, big TV with Netflix. The hot/cold in shower was a little hard to figure out as it was umarked, and it took a while for the water to warm up.
