Bronwyn & Terry's place is a gem -- a fabulous place from which to explore breathtaking lake Terawera. We received a warm welcome and were invited to use kayaks to explore the lake. We also took our hosts advice and did the 3-4 hour hike to Hot Water Beach and took the water taxi back - which was one of the highlights of our time on the North Island. For anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Rotorua, this is the perfect haven. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!
