This place needs an upgrade. The carpet is stained and has holes in it. The beds are awful, and worn out!

Waiteti Bay

Right around the corner from Waiteti Bay. Fly-fished at the stream inlet. Beautiful walk from the cottage to Rotorua Town Center. Clean and comfortable lodgings.

Just what we needed

A great cabin to stay in, with everything we needed and more. Loved the extra touches like the eggs and stocked pantry. Estuary is around the corner with loads of trout fishermen - was fascinating to see! Thanks for a great stay

Not lakeside

The Bookabach listing says that it is a "lakeside lodge" with "direct access to the Ngongotaha Lakefront Reserve". There is a photo of the reserve labelled "Property grounds". This description fits the original "Lodge" but NOT the cottage. The address given is actually the address of the lodge not the cottage. The cottage is not lakeside but is behind the lodge with no view of the reserve or the lake and access to the reserve is at the end of the street. This is possibly a breach of the fair trading act. The waste disposal unit was jammed with a stone. We fixed it and left the stone on the window sill. The washing machine was half full of water. We just left it as we found it. The fan in the bathroom did not work. Operating the heater without the fan could damage the unit and is a fire hazard. The igniter of gas hob in the kitchen was turned off, the switch being on the other side of the kitchen and labelled "oven". Some instructions and better labeling would help. The shower rose was attached to the hose with duct tape and did not fit properly in the shower slide. The toilet roll holder was loose. The aerator on the kitchen sink mixer does not work resulting in splashing when used. This would be a simple fix for a plumber. In short, the general maintenance needs attention. The bach was comfortable and clean. The kitchen and bathroom were well appointed. The food supplied exceeded expectations. The linen was fresh.

Yes, all good.Just took us quite a while to find the switch to power the oven. It'd be helpful if it were left on.
