I had originally booked 2 rooms for our large family (4 kids) but the owner immediately let me know that I could have one large cottage that would keep us together in one building. On top of that, the bigger cottage cost me about $10 NZ less than the 2 rooms combined. We even had an extra bed to spare!... more

Nice view of the river and saw ducks 2! Many Channels on the tv and my fav. spot was the comfy recliner that was next to the sofa. and LOVED the zebra prints throw! snuggled with it all night. Parents thot the unit was v comfy and clean, and garden was peaceful and kitchen facilities was great. more

We chose this because it can accomodate all 5 of us. Parking right to the door step. The living room was spacious with a 2-seater sofa, a round dining table and kitchen, plus an extendable chair. The host said can be extended to a sofa bed, but despite numerous tries we just cannot fully extend it to a bed. The... more

Very nice welcome, the host is very helpfull in advising on attractions and she always has a smile on her face! The rooms are ok, not very big, but you have all you need. The jacuzzi was really dirty when we were there, so we couldn't go in it. But still, we think for Rotorua, it was good price/value. more

The gondola is just across the road and there is a restaurant on site and the breakfasts are delicious!! I would 100% stay there... more

The three days we spent with two teenagers at this accomodation was just what a tired and busy family needed. The accommdation was well appointed and we tryed all the activities on site, mini golf, table tennis, very warm pool and spa. The owners bent over backwards to ensure we chose a suitable unit and gave lots of local information.... more
