If I could give more than five stars for the location I would - such a good deal! So good being within walking distance of a lake swim. Even though it's listed as a farm stay, it felt more like being in a sleepy community with decent infrastructure (as well as the occasional sighting of livestock).
The house itself is really up to date, decent kitchen despite being small, well insulated so it doesn't get too hot even on the scorcher summer days. You can open up a whole side of the main room to flow into a private lawn outdoors. Some days we felt so comfy at home that we abandoned our plans to head into Rotorua.
Overall really glad we did this stay!
