Summary: The view of the lake from the property was beautiful. The house was well appointed and provided with many amenities. Parking is tight even for a small car but that is no fault if the owner. As stated in the listing there is no direct access to the lake but a short walk gets you there. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly.

Summary: Alison and Marc are great hosts and took the time to welcome us. The property has everything that you need and even more. It is very clean and well located with the beach a few meters away. Parking in front of the house. We even had homemade breakfast items to eat and a wine bottle. They gave us good tips for activities around. They can also guide you around Rotorua as they have their own touring business. I strongly recommend. Thank you so much !

Summary: For the purpose of our stay this property was perfect. Driveway was a bit tight for our big vehicle, but we were able to park just outside. It was a shame there was someone in the place just infront who parked their car in line with our lake view. Everything there you could possibly need. Felt secure and safe.
