Susan's loft by the lake is really a special place. Close to Rotorua but felt like a million miles away too in the peace and quiet and with no sulphur smell either. We spent a week in the space and it worked really well. We were able to mountain bike from the door and the apartment is really close to some cool trips like lake tarawera where you can walk to hot water beach and catch a water taxi home. The upstairs has a lovely view over the lake, super comfy bed. Susan has thought about pretty much everything you could as regards amenities and special touches. I would highly recommend staying here.
