We were an extended family of 13 that came together here for a week for our annual holiday. It was amazing!! Soooo much space, both inside and outside and a truly incredible spot. Lots of free things to do in Rotorua (we had scooters, bikes and kayaks) as well as the obligatory luge rides etc. Greg was great to communicate with and it was a holiday to remember ##### Ricky and Michelle E. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam B. 31 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Special find in Rotorua As a group of friends that get together once a year with our growing families, it is hard to find a house to suit us all but this house was brilliant! The bedrooms are all good sizes with comfortable beds. The kitchen dining and 2 lounge areas were more than enough space with the added extra of the covered deck and huge lawn! Easy communication and would recommend to any large or small group. Many activities to do that are close by. Thank you :) ##### Sam B. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### murray H. 24 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to hang out. We have stayed at a lot of places and this property and location was the best yet. Lakefront location allowed for swimming, boating and kayaking directly from section and the house and kitchen was well stocked and plenty of outside decking. Also lots of things to do in Rotorua. ##### murray H.

This holiday house was perfect for our family group of 9\. The main living area is large and very comfortable allowing us to spread and do our own thing. The house was very clean and well presented, beautiful artwork all around, the kitchen large with all the modern conveniences cooking for a large group needs. The view of the lake just at the end of the lawn is just beautiful . We had a really relaxed time in this house. ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian W. 13 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family get together. A great way for us all to come together for our niece's graduation from FENZ training and have a pre Christmas gathering.

Location is ideal, directly on the lake shore, in a very quiet suburb, but not far from Rotorua CBD. The view from the living room and master bedroom is just great! The house itself is very spacious, I especially enjoyed the living room. The kayaks are a nice touch, although we were unfortunately not able to use them much because of bad weather. ##### Olivier B.
