Our family loved our stay at Carol's place. The kayaks and beach were enjoyed by all ages, there were life jackets of different sizes (though the water depth is very shallow and great for kids), the beds were very comfy, there were books and toys our 2 year old enjoyed, and the kitchen well equipped. Rotorua was a quick 5 minute drive away. Carol was quick to respond when we had a question. We would certainly stay again and highly recommend to others.
