This property is a bit off the beaten path, half hour walk from the waterfront boardwalk and restaurants. It was a comfortable stay. There is lake access from the property. Walking distance from Kuirau Park, a neat geothermal park.

Host was on top of all documentation and getting the key to us. The space had everything we could have asked for and we wish time allowed us to get in the lake with the kayaks. One point we wish it had was a small AC unit but each bedroom does have a fan. I would recommend this and stay here again.

Jeanna and Jim met us when we arrived. It was halloween and they provided us with a bit of candy for the grandkids who stopped by. The kayaks were out and ready for us to use and the accommodations were spotless! Jeanna even helped us book some local activities. We would stay here again with no hesitation.

Thanks for a wonderful stay

Jim and Jenna were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. The girls and I had a wonderful time kayaking on the lake. The bach was nice and central to all of the activities we were doing over the weekend and was a lovely home away from. We really enjoyed our stay and are look forward to more in the future. Thanks Jim and Jenna

Perfect for what we needed

This place is special and would highly recommend if you are looking for the same things we were. Great base for family holiday with our teens, magic location with kayaking right on the lake, walk to the chippie, rotorua central attractions a couple of mins drive away. Kids had their own space and joint space great too. This is not super modern but is priced really reasonably and the host family are super lovely people and still left us with a nice separate space to do our thing.

We spent two wonderfull nights in your apartment. The recommendations on what to do around Rotorua (and what better not) met exactly our taste - we had a marvellous time at the Polynesian Spa and in the Maori Village. We would definitly come back.

Nice but…..

Place was nice enough but some elements could use a deep clean. Although use of the kayaks was available - the way our two days played out we didn’t return to the rental with enough time in the evening to take advantage.
