This is an absolutely idyllic location just 10 mins outside of rotorua. Everything has been thought of, right down to emergency needs. Ideal for a romantic getaway or just getting back to nature.

This is a newer, cozy and comfortable cottage nestled in a private forest. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with all we needed for quiet, restful stay. We loved the outdoor bathtub surrounded by trees. Details such as flower petals sprinkled on entry walkway speak of the desire by the hosts to provide a warm welcome to this exceptional place.

This really did feel like the ultimate secluded retreat. The cabin is wonderful, so many little touches and inclusivities to make your stay really lovely. So lovely spending the morning sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the deck, reading and listening to the birds. Or finding the glow worms in the bank opposite the cabin- a real highlight! Cant recommend this place enough.
