This home has to rank as one of the best VRBO experiences that we have had. It is a gorgeous home directly on the lake and, though the photos make it look great, it is actually even better. Great beds, and lots of different places to hang out inside, though the outside is even better with a big deck and a dock with lots of comfy outdoor furniture. It is quiet yet within a 15-minute drive to Rotorua (you certainly need a car). A large kitchen, well stocked, a nice laundry, beautiful gardens. Everything is perfect (one note: There is no A/C, so it can get hot on warm days, but just close curtains during the day and open windows and doors in the evening, and all is good. We would happily return; indeed, we'd love to live here full time! The owners and the manager were great to deal with.
