We stayed at The Lake House for 3 nights to explore in and around Rotorua. Ken & Carol are the perfect hosts - friendly and welcoming and we were really made to feel part of the family. They helped give us some really helpful tips for places to visit that weren't on our list...you must, for example, visit the spring... More

This is the most welcoming bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. Ken and Carol are the perfect hosts - nothing is too much trouble - including helping us wash our very dirty cycling gear! The full variety for breakfast, including fresh fruit and a different cooked option every day. Lovely touches like afternoon tea and home cooked scones... More

We stayed 2 nights in December, which were a real highlight in our 6 week trip. The house itself is gorgeously positioned backing onto the lake but far enough away from the city centre to avoid the smell from the many local geysers. Ken and Carol were the perfect hosts, offering helpful advice if you wanted it but giving you... More

This was a home from home in a fabulous location - Ken and Carol were perfect hosts, so welcoming that we soon felt they were friends we'd known for years. They couldn't do enough to make sure we felt at home, while also giving us total privacy and freedom to come and go as we pleased. Definitely the most relaxing... More

We (my husband, baby, and our two friends) flew into Auckland and drove to Rotorua on our 11 day trip, and it was truly worth the drive. Rotorua is breathtakingly beautiful - yes, Lord Of The Rings sort of beautiful - and The Lake House is the cherry on top. We arrived late after 9pm, but owners Ken and Carol... More

Whilst in New Zealand for the World Cup, my partner and I took a mini road trip through to Rotorua, and had an excellent experience of the place. The hosts, Carol and Ken, were most welcoming, and...
