These guests partied until 3am and when they left the place was a disgusting mess so extra was charged for extra cleaning and other things. A range of images told the story. We wouldnt have them back
We couldn't have been happier with our stay in Hamurana. The house is huge, well laid out and the amenities are broad and well set up for entertaining, indoors and outside. The massage chair being particular popular with our group. The kitchen has ample equipment and very easy to create a 3 course meal in, while keeping the social atmosphere for the chef. With a central location in the middle of the country, many more of our friend group could join in. We all agreed we would be back.
The place is great for a family holiday. Plenty of space in and outside the house for kids to play and good layout inside the house. Check in was easy and owners were responsive to requests.
This is an amazing place to stay! We had a large family group of 4 generations from 5 months to 78 years old and we all had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. The whole place was well stocked for large family groups. The outdoor area was amazing with lots of seating for everyone. We had no complaints at all and were sad to leave after our week there. Highly recommended for any trip to the Rotorua area!
Upon arrival, our adult children said,"Why aren't we staying here our entire time in New Zealand?' Two nights was not enough to fully enjoy this spacious house and all its amenities.
There was great communication with Norman and they were able to address all questions we had. We had a wonderful time here. This would be an awesome summer stay with how the garage is set up. We were grateful for the hospitality!
The location was perfect for my group of 3 families with all kids under the age of 6. The space offered for the kids was ideal, with farm animals in close proximity to the lodging. We did not once need to reach out to the house owners during our trip as everything was in order, thought out and working well!
We had a lovely few days in Hamurana. The house was perfect for exploring the local area and the children loved the games room and alpacas next door. The house was very comfortable and spacious and everything was easy to find.
We were visiting our family in Rotorua from the states side. Awesome house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms to share. Garage was fun for the kids. Cute animals on the property:) It was a perfect location for us. Lots of activities near by. All communications were very quick and easy! We would love to go back!!
My girl friends and our mums had a lovely weekend away. Layout of the house is perfect for big groups, we all had plenty of space. And a lovely outdoor area to enjoy a glass of wine and a chat in the peaceful surrounding.
