Lovely house and the views are out of this world. We arrived late at night, after our flight to Auckland ran into some delays & a mid-day excursion, but getting the key out of the lockbox was effortless and the hot-tub was already hot and ready to go. Great way to unwind after a pretty stressful day.
All the bedrooms have views of the lake--I was stuck with the twin beds, and the worst view, which just gave me extra incentive to get downstairs in the morning to sip my coffee on the balcony.
The driveway is a bit of a nightmare--narrow, hard to turn into when driving from the direction of rotorua--but that's my only complaint. The kitchen is pretty new, the espresso machine is easy to use, and we had no trouble cooking our breakfasts & dinners during our stay.
