Lovely little bach for girls weekend escape. Had everything you need and tidy and clean. The lounge and kitchen is smaller to the pictures but it’s was lovely and cosy. Highly recommend if you’re wanting to be by lake and away from hustle and bustle of main Rotorua town.

Beautiful home in an amazing location

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was incredibly clean and really cozy, the hot tub was great in the evening after going down to the lake for a swim, even took the kayaks provided out which was fun. Beautiful location and really lovely host. Definitely would come back here :)
