We loved it
Close to Okareka lake which my wife would go to each morning to watch the sunrise while the lazy father and son stayed in their beds. We did all do the glow worm kayaking tour on this lake which was amazing and highly recommended. When we looked at the online listing it wasn’t clear that the accommodation is attached to a house. But this didn’t effect our privacy at all. It’s a beautiful house with a close to nature feel about it while still being close to some great activities like the redwood tree walk. We loved sitting on the porch and having tūī and other birds pop over to feed on the bird feeder attached the garage. Thanks to the hosts. We appreciate it.

An extremely pleasant comfortable state, such a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Rotorua! Close enough to everything, and such a peaceful outlook over beautiful bushland.
