A quiet stay in Rotorua

We loved our stay. We watched beautiful sunrises every morning, and the location was a quick walk to the lake. The bed was super comfortable, and the gardens were well kept. Thank you for making our stay in Rotorua a lovely one.

A lovely retreat

Millar's Hideaway is a super place! Clean, bright, surrounded by beautiful grounds and in a quiet neighborhood. Our neighborhood walks and the longer walks around the lake were both excellent.And while it's a mountain lake retreat home, it's also super convenient to Rotorua. Highly recommended!

Great house for 2 people, excellent location

Loved the place, has everything you need for a relaxing stay and more. Found the large garage very useful to keep the boat ready for an early morning fishing trip. We will be back for sure.

Perfect location close to lake

This was a beautiful location overlooking Lake Okareka, with a quiet beach just a couple of hundred metres away. A place to relax and explore, a short drive from Rotorua but without the smell and the crowds! The only fault was illegible oven dials (looked up online) and a personal dislike of the rather orange floor….. but that didn’t detract from a very nice and comfortable stay.

Ideal at lake okareka

We choose this property for the location and size as we didn't want to stay in Rotorua central. And the location and property was ideal for us. One bedroom, big livingroom/kitchen,bathroom and toilet. Very well equipped. Nice and quiet and the view from the lounge is absolutely beautiful. We would stay there again.

10 DAYS IN PARADISE

It is difficult to adequately describe our stay at Millar's Hideaway. The setting is spectacular, beautifully landscaped to blend seamlessly with the natural scenery with beautiful views from every window in the home. The home itself is designed and perfectly appointed with every amenity for beauty, comfort, and easy living. Millar's Hideaway is so well located! It is just across the road from beautiful Lake Okeraka within 15 minutes of Rotorua's town center. We loved every minute of our ten-day stay and were very sad to have to leave!

Beautiful Spot and Homey Atmosphere

Kia Ora! We loved our visit to New Zealand and our stay in Lake Okareka. We were here to celebrate and witness our friends' wedding; the location was beautiful and the small house was just what we needed for the two of us. I loved the nook with benches to soak up the sun with morning coffee and it was a short walk down to the lake. We were busy enough with wedding events and others in the area, but if we had more time to hang out at the Lake, it would have been nice to find some water activities (kayaks, paddleboards, etc.). We appreciated all that was available in the home and it seemed clean from what we could tell. I appreciated the fan for the bedroom as I read in other reviews the bedroom can get stuffy even with the A/C unit on. Thank you for a wonderful stay - no complaints and thank you for the provided tea and coffee packets!
