MTBers Paradise! Amazing views! Ride to the Forest

Beautiful family home above the Rotorua Tree Trust Reserve you are only a few minutes ride down to the Whakarewarewa forest on safe pedestrian and biking access. Soak in the spa after a hard days ride or site seeing, gazing at the stars or absorbing the expansive views of Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island and Mount Ngongotaha.

This property is ideal for family get togethers or for mates getting together for a catch up and to explore the amazing outdoors Rotorua and its surrounding areas have to offer.

Overall, it was a very nice place to stay. I hope if the check-in information was sent earlier as we had to stay outside waiting for the manager's instruction. Clean house. Spa is good. Having heaters per room was also amazing. I recommend!

Amazing views and outdoor areas

This property was very spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. The view and outside areas are the highlight. Plenty of shade and plenty of sun. We biked each day from the property, and the ride back up was achievable for our kids aged 11. Smaller kids might baulk at it.

Wonderful Rotorua Stay

We were a group of 7 (4 x adults and 4 x kids) who stayed 4 x nights. The location was awesome!! Wonderful view, very spacious for everyone to spread out and have their own space within the house. Large open plan living room was so nice and warm to gather in, with plenty of room for everyone to be able to take in the glorious view from the large windows. Communication with Ryan was fantastic and entry was easy upon arriving. Highly recommend this residence, especially for larger groups and will definitely stay here again should we return.

Absolutely beautiful

Absolutely beautiful home, would be helpful if there was some facecloths in bathrooms. Fridge is leaky woke up both mornings and water all over floor nothing a towel didn’t fix but dangerous if u we’re to slip in middle of night. Apart from those two things house was brilliant would definitely love to come back and stay again Thanks for having us

Thanks for the review Rhiannon. It looks like the fridge door was broken around the hinge and not shutting completely. We have replaced the fridge to a new one so this shouldn’t happen next time you guys stay😃 I think we do provide face cloth but I will confirm with our cleaner. Thanks

MTB Trip for six males

Overall very happy with the house, its location and the service received. The house had some maintenance issues - two plates on the induction cooktop did not work; almost every tap inside the house dripped and needs new washers; some of the light fittings didnt work or worked intermittently; and the main entry and laundry entrance are very slippery when wet. We had two falls but fortunately no injuries. The bed arrangement for six men was not ideal-especially the small bunkroom with two double bunks (kids maybe). Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

Great location and such a beautiful space. Very clean. Some bugs inside the house but in summer that is expected.Long driveway was not an issue at all as heaps of space to turn around. Very much enjoyed our stay! Would absolutely book again.

Great holiday weekend

This place is great if you are keen for a MTB weekend in Rotorua with a group or larger family. The property is spacious, clean, with great views over town and bikeable to the forest. Why I am writing this review though is to acknowledge how accommodating the hosts have been when COVID issues have meant we have asked to postpone coming twice. They didn't have to but were extremely co-operative and helpful. Really genuine , good people to deal with. We got there eventually - and had a great time!
