On the road to the lakes, short drive to town, across the road from the forest. Kids liked to watch the big tv in the outhouse. Thank you for having us. ##### felicity k. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness On the positive, great communication and loved the spa. Unfortunately the place was thick with dust and cobwebs and so much hair all over the bathroom floor and hair clogged shower ruined our experience. The sleepout was terrible! We tried everything so get rid of the old musty damp smell but could not shake it. It was strong and vile. With a bit of TLC this could be amazing but it certainly isn't at the moment. ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom R. 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House with awesome hot tub We had a great time in Rotorua, rode the redwoods every day and loved coming back home to a hot spa. Garage was great for bikes too. ##### Tom R. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alyson N. 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 3 night stay Great place to stay, really enjoyed our visit. The hottub was a highlight! We just booked the main house for 4 adults and it was quite spacious. They had all the cooking gear that you need and very basic supplies like oil, salt and pepper as described. The place seemed clean and all dishes were clean. The only negative is the sound proofing around the bathroom. Essentially there is none so it makes it a bit awkward to use the toilet at times. Especially for people sleeping in the room that backs up to the toilet. Going bathroom in the middle of the night would be quite loud and easily heard from that room. Would definitely book this place again! ##### Alyson N. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B. 10 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### School Holiday fun We had a fantastic five days staying at Highfield. The layout and space worked really well for our families and I loved the proximity to the Redwoods forest and other activities. Having a spa was an added bonus which the kids loved and helped when the weather was less than ideal. The service and communication was wonderful and I really appreciated the help when we left a couple of items behind! Great internet and well appointed kitchen. Would stay here again ##### Amy B.

May not hace read the property details correctly, didn't realize 4th room was a sleepout but was also a great space. Would be good if locks were keyed alike and supplied 2 keys for easier security when locking up at night. ##### Andrew L. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea J. 6 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxed spacious home Great space for myself and teens to get away. Loved the indoor outdoor flow. Lovely surprise to have the heater on the patio in this evening. Spa was gorgeous to enjoy at this time also. Appreciated having access to the second/sleepout space as we found the shower loads more enjoyable to use. Also loved having access to the dryer as one of the days were raining on and off. Overall great space, lovely bedrooms and comfy living with all kitchen appliances available for use. ##### Andrea J.
