Be prepared to climb some stairs and there is plenty of parking for a boat but depending on size you may need to back up the steepish drive because there is not a lot of room to turn it around. Owners were awesome and very accomodating. ##### Marty D.

It has amazing views to enjoy a cuppa in the morning on the deck. Great base and close enough to Rotorua for groceries and activities and far enough away to have a tranquil spot to enjoy. ##### Wendy S.

Great amenities and valuable folder of local information. Photos of all the kitchenware and where it should be put and numerous signage re not taking the books a bit sad. Why not have a shelf for 'book swaps' as well as 'do not take' ##### Rochelle B.

Only thing to consider is that there are alot of steps up to the house, so need to be fit to carry everything up. Keep your bags light! With this in mind, it would have been lovely to have a but more firewood actually beside the fire for when we arrived. ##### zoe b. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard H. 28 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Okareka Lake Views Property was very comfortable, well maintained, and well located and we very much enjoyed our stay. Visitors need to be fit to go up and down stairs. The owners were very keen that property was well maintained by visitors. For 1st time lake visitors like us, our stay would have benefited from on site mountain bikes and kayaks being readily available (had to find all our fun which was fine but some more easy fun would be good, especially for teens) ##### Richard H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jo V. 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful, well-appointed bach Fabulous 180-degree panoramic views - the photos just don't do it justice. 10 mins drive to Rotorua for restaurants / grocery shopping etc, so very convenient. The only thing you need to bring is a portable heater. We stayed in July and the weather was very cold, and the heat didn't travel to the two smaller rooms. There are also a lot of bach rules and instructions everywhere, so you need to be ok with that. That said, it was a very comfortable stay, hot tub under the trees with a lake view was amazing, the two larger beds are very comfortable, and heavy curtains made the rooms nice and dark. We slept so well! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bach with us :) ##### Jo V.

Reviews mention the stairs a lot, we really did not find these an issue at all. Clean property with well-equipped kitchen. Loved our stay here, would recommend this place to everyone who is willing to keep the property in order, as this clearly (and understandably) is important to the owner. The view is to die for! ##### Elin S.
