We were very happy here.It was the most peaceful place we have stayed and had everything we needed to have a good rest. Particularly loved that it was NOT fragranced throughout and that it did NOT have TV or wifi. This was a bonus for us. We plan to come again and stay longer because this kind of restful retreat is rare to find.

Uncomfortable

Despite the positive markings above, the overriding thing when we arrived tired and cold, was that the room was freezing. No effort had been made to warm it up and the heater was utterly inadequate. We went to bed at 7:30 just to keep warm. We had to ask for milk.The one plug (two sinks) had a nail through it! (Health and safety alert!)The bed was great. The location was quiet and peaceful. Our host directed us to an excellent lookout spot at a nearby lake.

Emma was very accommodating, even coming out in the pouring rain and making sure the heater was on in the getaway before I got there so it was warm and cozy by the time I got there. I didn't realize there is no wifi here but it was actually really nice to disconnect from everything for a night.

Nice cabin in a fairly rural setting

The stay was great - easy place to stay close to Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland which is why we wanted to be there. Clean, roomy, nice bed and reasonably private. Very quite and scenic. Needs a curtain for the kitchen window and a bigger mirror in the bathroom. Also beware: no Wifi. I had two 4G bars on my phone so that was good enough but pretty limited.

Lovely, comfortable stay and excellent hosts

We truly enjoyed our stay. The place was comfortable and clean, a short distance from all the places we planned to visit. The accommodation was provided with everything we needed, simply delightful! The hosts were gracious and helpful to allow us to bring our two dogs with us, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely stay again. Thank you very much!

A great location away from the rat race to serve as a base for exploring the region, and a super comfy bed to come back to after a long day! Lovely hosts too, and the home grown tomatoes we were gifted on departure were delicious. Thank you!

A cute cozy open plan cabin nestled by conifers, eucalyptus, manuka, rhododendron and Walnut.This small settlement has a school and a Pataka (no dairy or shops).Walks to Lake Rerewhakaaitu is 1hr return.A lovely base to explore the Lake district. Rotorua is a 30mn drive away.We stayed for a week with our puppy and daughter.Emma was handy for any questions.Ideal if you're looking for a remote place to disconnect.

Our stay

It was lovely and clean and comfy bed and lovely and accommodating host. It would've been a plus if there was a tv although not a major as you dont go away to watch tv... a sofa to sit at rather than on the bed would've been better too.

Great location, friendly host

We stayed three nights with friends as we were all competing in an event nearby. Really convenient location. Quiet spot, friendly host, appreciated the fresh bread and local produce from the fruit trees! For colder nights, a heater will be appreciated. Nice linen, and everything else we needed was provided. Its good to get ‘off the grid’ and this was an ideal quiet spot.

Stunning location with tonnes of privacy. Natural hot springs 15mins drive, 30mins from town centre - perfect spot with lots to do. Thank you to our host Emma - very approachable & easy to contact, able to provide lots of information about the area and must-see spots. Will be back again to explore more of the area 😁
