Summary: We had a lovely stay at this property and suited 2 families well. One of the rooms is outside of the main house which was fine for us. We paid extra for linen and could of done with a few extra tea towels and dish cloths. Well equipped house with lots of utensils, cooking facilities. Bbq and spa was a hit.

Summary: This is our 5th time staying and it gets better every time. We lucked the best weather. Unfortunately our reason for attending completely turned to custard and in the end only half our guests managed to stay (our end not the hosts issue) but our hosts were extremely accommodating considering we were dealing with a very different family situation. Already thinking of when we can return. Always the best time away with loved ones

Summary: The property is in need of a little bit of TLC, deck nails sticking up causing injury, kayaks in a very unclean condition.Overall a very nice place, just needs a bit of TLC/maintenance for the price point of the place.

Summary: We had the most perfect weather for a perfect weekend break. Tarawera was like an exotic holiday even though we live in Rotorua. We had friends pop around to enjoy the lake with us. The Pizza oven was enjoyed by all and BBQ dinners did not disappoint. Teenagers enjoyed the Xbox when not eating or on the lake. The hot tub

Summary: We loved the character of the boat shed. Good fire wood supply, and panel heaters, kept the house cosy and warm. Beds were comfortable. Freya was very easy to communicate with. We were very appreciative of the late check out. We would happily stay again, a beautiful spot looking over the lake.

Summary: We loved our stay! There was room for everyone with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas both to be together and to have space away from each other. It was so well equipped and we enjoyed all the little extras provided. The spa and the pizza oven were a hit with everyone.
