Guest Reviews
- Tristin (10/5): - Great location right on the shore with private lake access. Clean and tidy, great amenities. Breakfast was fantastic with fully cooked or continental style. Catherine was very hospitable, offered tea/coffee/beer on arrival, showed us some recommended sites and places to eat while we were there. Can’t wait to come back!
- David (10/5): Exceptional breakfast and great presentation - We were greeted with a cup of coffee and maps and brochures of things to do and see. Our hosts took time to tell us about the area and things to do. The bed was very comfortable and the room was freshened up each day with clean towels. Excellent service.
A choice of three breakfast types was offered and all were very good. You don’t leave feeling hungry that’s for sure. The lighting was a little dim , for us anyway, but other than that it was great.
- Marion (9/5): Very welcoming hosts - The hosts (Roger and Catherine) were extremely attentive, from the welcome drinks and snacks on arrival to providing lots of information on what to do in the area.
The room was spacious and comfortable with a sofa and patio overlooking their garden. A lovely home-made breakfast with 3 choices was served in their house with views across the lake. Use of the main terrace with lake views was allowed with swimming and use of the kayak also available. The house was on the outskirts of Rotorua so it was quite a long walk into Rotorua town centre, but parking was plentiful there.
- J. (9/5): - We had a wonderful stay, thank you so much!
- Martin (8/5): Homely and welcoming with self contained separate bedroom - Welcoming hosts, lovely breakfasts, comfy bed. Parking area was tricky to access especially in the dark.
- Ken (10/5): A spot of paradise on the lake - Roger and Cat were incredibly generous hosts. They provide wonderful facilities, and the breakfast options were not only generous portions but were delicious and provided in their home. The accommodation was spotless, bed - perfect, shower was 12 out of 10. There is access to a private beach on the lake, which was right at the back door, and they provided us with lots of options for free things to do in Rotorua. We will definitely stay here again (if we can get in as it's a very good option for visitors to stay). They helped make our stay in Rotorua one that we will never forget, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Simply, brilliant.
- Christiane (10/5): - Very friendly hosts that invited us into their home for a cup of tea when we arrived and provided a lot of good informations for activites in the area (visit the nightmarket in the city on thursdays). Well equiped clean room. Breakfast was very tasty (both british and asian option). You can reach most activites from there in half an hour or less by car. Good takeout food in walking distance.
- Margaret (9/5): - Location excellent, close to town. Beautiful waterfront views from host's deck. Appreciated the welcome drink (tea for me, beer for husband) on arrival. Katz provided useful suggestions on sightseeing options. Nothing - all great!
- Daniel (10/5): - Roger and in particular Katz who is the driving force behind the BnB were exceptionally accomodating and really made you feel as if the place was your own home. They also have a very friendly cat! Extremely, extremely minor issue was that myself and the other guests had 2 large cars so parking was a bit tight but still workable :)
- Sabine (9/5): Heimeliges B&B direkt am See - Heimeliges B&B an idyllischer, ruhiger Lage direkt am See. Das Zentrum von Rotorua ist in ca. 5 Autominuten schnell zu erreichen. Das frisch zubereitete Frühstück war sehr grosszügig und vielfältig. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr hilfsbereit und ihre Empfehlungen für Tagesausflüge und Aktivitäten sehr nützlich.
- Peter (10/5): In jeder Hinsicht empfehlenswert. - Zuvorkommende, persönliche Ansprache durch die Wirtsleute, ein kompaktes Appartment, das keine Wünache offen lässt und ein Meh-Frühstück, das den ganzen Tag anhält. Leider waren wir während zweier Regentage dort, sodass wir den Strand und die Kajaks nicht nutzen konnten.
- James (9/5): Very enjoyable with very nice and hospitable hosts … thank you Catherine and Roger. - Very clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and a bonus … kept us going all day. Parking whilst adequate was a little tight when two lots of guests were there at the same time.
- Hélène (10/5): - Séjour au top. Très bon accueil avec un rafraîchissement et des explications sur la région. La vue sur le lac est magnifique, le lieu est paisible.
Notre meilleur petit déjeuner en Nouvelle Zélande.
Tout était parfait Rien
- Thorsten (10/5): Absolut top - Eine klasse Unterkunft mit großzügigen Zimmern und allem was man braucht. Die Unterkunft ist direkt am See und die Gastgeber extrem nett und bemüht. Wir haben viele gute Tipps und Anregungen für die Umgebung bekommen. Das Frühstück ist außergewöhnlich gut. Jederzeit wieder.
- Clare (10/5): Excellent stay, fabulous hosts ! - Lovely clean room , very comfortable bed , hosts made the most fabulous breakfasts that kept us going all day , very hospitable, highly recommend. Nothing !
- Frank Methorst (9/5): - The wonderfull reception and the way we were taken care off.
- Lisa (10/5): - This place exceeds expectations. Every detail is covered, from a warm welcome and chat with Catherine to all the little things that make a stay special- welcome drink, coffee or tea selection in room, little chocolates, makeup removal wipes and even a little safe in the room. Breakfast was superb both days we were there. The view from the breakfast table is amazing. Would highly recommend! Nothing!
- Jan (10/5): Loved the hosts and their accommodations. Thank you! We would stay there again. - Katherine and Roger were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed our conversations at breakfast. The breakfast options were delicious and a very nice change from the typical bland continental style. The room was extremely neat and clean and we truly enjoyed walking out each morning and seeing the coy pond and the lake front. What a special place to call home for the owners. We had just arrived in NZ and were still acclimating to the different driving. So, the parking space was an opportunity to practice before heading out to experience New Zealand’s unique roads and parking.
- FRANCOIS (10/5): - Excellent accueil et bons conseils
Cadre très agréable, avec le petit jardin, et la vue sur le lac depuis le salon pendant l’accueil et le pdj
Bel espace pour l’appartement

- Megan (9/5): Great location for exploring local restaurants and activities - Lovely view of the lake, room was large enough for two adults and a child, hosts were welcoming and breakfast was impressive.
- Loryana (10/5): Absolutely perfect! Personal, a warm welcome, amazing breakfast,spotless and cosy room - The entire stay was absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome (with a cup of tea and some cookies) to the really nice and super clean room, the amazing breakfast and kind owner.
Don’t miss out on the Malaysian breakfast! It’s 5 stars!
And the lake view is stunning!

- Alastair (10/5): Everything was excellent. - Everything. Katz and Roger were very welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable and the choice of breakfast was excellent. Nothing
- Leanne (10/5): Comfort with beautiful surroundings, a reprieve from the intense smell of Rotorua - Location, our friendly hosts, cleanliness of the room, being able to access their deck with the lake view, room comfort, away from the busyness and smell of Rotorua Fridge too small, would have liked a proper freezer and a microwave to heat a meal.
- Jeanice (10/5): nice B&B - Very kind, nice breakfast and comfortable stay
- therese (9/5): Hidden gem on the Lake at Rotorua - Lovely hosts and a beautiful location.
Lovely breakfast with great options. Nothing
It was lovely and peaceful
- HY (10/5): - Koutu Beach Bed and Breakfast is a home from home with a great view of Lake Rotorua. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a drink and friendly conversations. The room is impeccably clean, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast rich and delicious. The host and hostess recommended some interesting places and gave us a glimpse of the local life. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place to anyone.
- ALATHEA (10/5): Fantastic stay in private room with delicious cooked breakfasts! - Katz and Roger were extremely welcoming and helpful. Breakfasts were delicious and very generously portioned. The room was lovely and comfortable and well designed for travellers in mind. Katz had plenty of suggestions of things to do and see in the area that was much appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay! Excellent stay, no changes needed!
- Waltraud (10/5): -

La gentillesse des hôtes
Chambre confortable et propre Rien du tout !!!
- Sophie (9/5): - Super friendly hosts, many recommendations for this to do and see in the area (incl. dinner). Superb breakfast (we tried two out of three choices). Good sized and clean room. The sofabed (2nd bed) is starting to show its age and was becoming less comfortable. The driveway and parking options might small/narrow if you have a larger car.
- Mariella (7/5): - the location was great plus a beatiful view of the lake from the house's living/dining room.
- Bruce (10/5): Beautiful setting, helpful, great breakfast - Hosts were very friendly and helpful with local advice on sights, restaurants, etc. The setting is beautiful, with a wonderful view of the lake from the breakfast table. Breakfast was excellent and large.
- Pascal (10/5): Très bonne adresse - Très propre Très agréable et bien situé le meilleur petit déjeuner de notre séjour
Roger et Catherine sont de bons conseils et accueillants parking sur place
Parfait sur tout 0
- Simon (8/5): Friendly hosts, good cooked breakfast. - Hosts were friendly & keen to share information about Rotorua.
Good cooked breakfast. Parking is tight for 2 SUVs.
There were biting bugs we think attracted by the pond.
Got woken up by noise of heavy rain on the roof.
Heated towel rail would be good as towels were still damp on day 2 & hosts don’t change towels during stay.
- Astrid (10/5): Wundervoll - Liebevoll eingerichtet, lädt zum Verweilen ein, exzellentes Frühstück X
- Mark (10/5): -
- Amrita (10/5): The perfect stay on lake rotorua - We had a very comfortable stay. Everything was perfect. Our host Katherine and Roger were extremely warm and welcoming. The Asian breakfast was delicious. I got to enjoy an hour of kayaking on their beautiful lake. The location is ideal and close to everything. Wish we could stay longer.
- Lynn (9/5): Excellent stay - The room was very clean and comfortable.
Katz & Roger were very helpful & friendly.
Location was good, on the Lake and only 5minutes drive to centre.
Lots of choices for breakfast and we really enjoyed chatting to Katz at breakfast time.
- Christine (10/5): -
- Lukas (10/5): We very much enjoyed our time there. - The Bed and Breakfast was beautifully set up and the host thought about everything that one could need during the stay. We very much enjoyed our time there. The breakfast was exceptional with three choices (Continental, English and Asian Breakfast). Thanks Kate and Roger for your effort, we are very thankful. We have nothing to complain about.
- TAT WENG (8/5): Comfy stay. - Lake side with nice view from the terrace and rich breakfast.
- Valerie (9/5): Attentive hosts and fabulous breakfast choices - Welcoming and attentive hosts, very clean accommodations, fabulous breakfast, beautiful location on the lake, which you are able to see while eating breakfast (note that rooms don’t overlook the lake). Loved that we could use the double kayak. The only natural light was from the French doors coming in so it felt a bit dark when closing the blinds for privacy, but this is just the layout of the building.
- Mihály (10/5): Nagyon kedves vendéglátók, patyolat tiszta hely, finom és bőséges reggeli! -
- Ondra (7/5): No microwave or sink to rinse dishes. No chair to sit on in the room. - Breakfast was nice. Served beautifully. The fold out bed was not good for my back I have a bad back thought the room had 2 proper beds.
Suggest for an adult the fold out bed needs a foam mattress added on top felt the wooden rails uncomfortable. Disappointed with the bed.
- Gregor (10/5): -
- Jeanne-Valérie (10/5): Superbe séjour dans un cadre magnifique et avec des hôtes très attentionnés - Le magnifique accueil de la part de Roger et Cat, ils ont vraiment été adorables.

- Sarada (10/5): A wonderfully cozy B&B with attentive hosts and delicious breakfast options - Roger warmly welcomed us to their charming family home, offering a cup of tea (or other drinks) upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. He also let me choose our breakfast—Asian, English, or Continental—and select a convenient serving time. Catherine kindly showed us to our room next door and assisted with our luggage, making us feel right at home.
The B&B is a cosy, comfortable place to stay, maintained to a high hotel standard with beautifully kept rooms. The hosts were exceptional, and the breakfast was fantastic with a stunning lake view. Highly recommend this delightful B&B for a warm and welcoming experience! A small tip: close the door quickly to keep insects out!
- Shreyas (10/5): A lovely BnB with amazing hosts! - The hosts, Roger and Catherine, were so lovely and accommodating. The views from the house were stunning, the room was comfortable and the breakfast every day was exquisite.
- Clair (8/5): Very hospitable hosts and the room really had everything you need - Our Hosts were delightful and keen to help in any way and good breakfast The bed is a double which is a bit small by todays standards and the bedding could be better quality and a thicker duvet for cold conditions
- Kami (10/5): Exceptional - Delicious breakfast, beautiful views, easy parking, comfortable stay.
- Catherine (10/5): Welcoming home from home on the lake - Warm welcome, excellent breakfasts (full English, nasi goreng, or continental all fab). Well-planned room has comfortable bed, sitting area, hot drinks facilities and mini fridge plus a little terrace for fine weather. Beautiful lake views from dining room and private beach. Roger kindly drove us to and from bus station, and to town. Taxis also plentiful and good prices. As well as local recommendations, Katz even gave us advice for Auckland. All good, except the weather!
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional - This is such a lovely place. Beautiful views of the lake, comfortable, clean room and very tasty breakfast! We loved borrowing their kayak on the lake. The hosts made us comfortable and were very knowledgeable about the area. We'd love to come back one day!

- David (8/5): We loved our stay and would certainly recommend!!! - Catherine and Roger went all out to make our stay great, the breakfasts were amazing and filling, the view from the back deck is gorgeous. It was super quiet being set away from the hectic downtown in a nice neighborhood. Our hosts were very engaging and informative. We had emailed the day before that we were planning on being there for 3:00 check in and we didn't hear back. We had 4:15 reservations for an event that we had to drive to. After a day of hiking, we were hoping to clean up before heading out. The room wasn't ready when we arrived. That said, they bent over backwards to make sure we made our reservation as we waited with drinks, snacks and conversation on the back deck overlooking the lake. All worked out!!!
- Jeffrey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Comfort in Rotorua. - The view from the breakfast table across the lake was unforgettable. The room is very comfortable and clean and nicely furnished.

The location is very convenient with good access to the main roads and the back garden goes down to the lake.
- Jim (10/5): Great BnB; highly recommend! - We were warmly welcomed by Roger and Cat, had a beer and chips with them on the deck overlooking Lake Rotorua. They gave us an excellent overview of the area and a good recommendation for dinner. The breakfasts the following two mornings were amazing and we enjoyed chatting with our hosts and the other guests. Our experience with them was the best we've had in the 4 weeks we've been in New Zealand.
- Zhixuan (10/5): Wonderful - We recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful bed and breakfast, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, the owners made us feel like we were part of their family. Their genuine warmth and hospitality were evident in every interaction, making our stay incredibly special.
The rooms were charming and impeccably clean, equipped with all the essential amenities needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set this place apart was the authentic and heartfelt service provided by the owners. They were always ready to assist with anything we needed, from offering suggestions for local attractions to ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, it was nothing short of amazing! Each morning, we were greeted with a delightful spread of homemade delicacies and local specialties that left us feeling energized and ready to explore the day ahead. The attention to detail and the use of fresh, local ingredients made every meal a treat.
Overall, our stay at this bed and breakfast was exceptional. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel like part of the family and experience true, heartfelt hospitality, this is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable getaway.
- David (10/5): Warm friendly welcome, we would definitely stay again - Katz and Rodger were great hosts. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the location by the lake was great. Nothing
- David (9/5): Great place to get away - Great location. Good breakfast. Very friendly hosts. Very nice room with everything we needed. Bonus to be able to charge our electric hire car one night. Parking a bit tight if both rooms' guests have large SUVs, but a minor point.
- Judith (10/5): Fantastic place on the lake - Roger and Kat made out stay incredible. They are the ultimate hosts. Fantastic breakfast. The room is large and very comfortable. They gave us great information of places to see and eat. We will definitely stay here again. Eat Streat is a great location downtown with multiple options. Hennesseys is great Irish bar downtown.
- Simon (3/5): A run down B&B not great - Nothing Area full of large swarms of small flys. Room is old and run down. Parking area is tiny and bushes overgrown. Host insists on showing us every detail of a room including the location of the magazines. Made to order breakfast the night before despite only 4 people staying. Really old fashioned not for us, we booked for 2 nights and left after 1.
- Hilary (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely welcoming bed and breakfast, incredible food, Cat is an exceptionally welcoming and thoughtful host. Beautiful location on the lake. Outside Rotorua proper, but a quick and easy drive into the centre.
- Kerrie (10/5): Very clean, great breakfast, kind owners - Very comfortable bed and beautiful property. The view of the lake from the breakfast eating area in the main house is gorgeous.
Cat makes an excellent breakfast, while she and Roger took great care of us.
The accommodation is spotless! Nothing
- Richliv (8/5): Very good - Comfy room, great breakfast, friendly hosts. They also helped me get some marks off my rental car which was super helpful. View from our room of the unit under construction, not totally ideal ;-) but not really that disruptive either.
- Nicholas (8/5): Great pleasant Stay - - Price: Moderate @ €125/night
- Very practical room (incl. furniture) and breakfast setup
- Very friendly and helpful hosts. Organised.
- Everything working and well-kept
- Cleanliness: Very good
- Security: Quite Good
- Access is easy (Ground Level)
- Very Good & Secured WiFi - Full Payment well ahead of stay.
- Furniture looks slightly old could do with a revamp.
- Parking access quite tedious to access and to get out of.
- Accomodation's name same colour as wall (not easily visible at all :D haha)
- Simon (9/5): Superb - A lovely bed and breakfast hosted by a nice family who gave us excellent advice for local things to do and places to eat. The breakfasts that they prepared for us were great and the room was very comfortable, if not the largest. The breakfast area had a beautiful view of the lake and was in a convenient enough location, that the town centre was a short drive away. Recommended for a long, relaxing stay in Rotorua. Cat was also nice to meet, but beware if you have allergies. Property is difficult to find, with the sign on the street dark and difficult to see, especially at night. The room was not the largest. If you're an early morning person, your schedule might not match with the hosts, but these are all minor things.
- Beverley (10/5): Excellent stay, exveptionally friendly hosts. Good location, perfect for our two night stay in Rotorua. - The hosts were very nice and very friendly. The rooms were excellent and the view from the breakfast room was fantastic, overlooking Lake Rotorua. Beds were comfortable and I liked the heated lamps in the bathroom.
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Paul (7/5): Good -
- Paul (10/5): Amazing - Amazing B&B right on the lake wirh access to a canoe 5 mins to the park a great selection for breakfast hosts couldn't do enough
- Angela (8/5): Lovely stay in roturua - Lovely clean and spacious room. Good breakfast and lovely hosts. We would have preferred to be more central in the town. Although the lake view is fabulous from the main house, you don’t see it from the guest room.
