Lovely property, well equipped and a great location. The hosts were awesome and the peaceful setting made for a fantastic getaway. Close enough to town, yet far enough away from town. Great place to stay.

Great home! We were able to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Great home! We were able to relax and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend this place if you want to relax around Rotorua. Close to everything we wanted to do but also away from the craziness of a downtown area. Lyn made sure we were very welcomed and knew about all the great places to explore around the area.

Thanks Karen. It was a pleasure to host the happy honeymooners !
Everything about our stay was perfect, from the warm welcome to the excellent facilities and the calming birdsong. A very happy stay in a spotlessly clean bach. All the touristy aspects of Roturua are within easy reach but here you are secluded and peaceful. We'd love to come back.

Lyn and her husband are fun and friendly people. Their bach has everything you need in a house and more. We enjoyed our break there, as well as their company. We will return, for sure. Love the area too!
Lyn and Julian are wonderful people and made us feel like family within minutes of our arrival. The cottage is lovely with everything you might need. Hopefully we will be lucky enough to come back some day. Thanks so much for everything!!

Hope you had a safe journey home .I t was a good decision as it turns out....our world is upside down.Hope to see you in the future
This might have been our favorite stay during our trip to New Zealand. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at home. The cottage is in a beautiful picturesque setting with easy access to a number of different activities. Lyn was also extremely helpful and gave us a lot of helpful tips and recommendations to allow us to make the most of our time on the North Island. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be staying here!
Erstklassisch ausgestattetes Haus und sehr freundliche Gastgeber
Die Einrichtung, besonders die Küche, bot alles, was man für einen längeren Aufenthalt benötigt. Ein besonderer Service: eine deutscher Dreifachsteckdose. Ruhige ländliche Lage. Lynn und Julian waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben uns vieleTipps gegeben. Wir haben uns aehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank!
The owners were wonderful. I liked how they took the time to get to know us in our short stay. I would definitely stay here again. The cottage was lovely. It was nice to stay within distance of the main city, but away in a nice relaxing place.
