Wow wow wow - what an amazing retreat! The Starling box was the perfect space for our weekend getaway. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the lovely Janina, who showed us around the modern home she is so proud of, the fridge was even generously stocked with lovely breakfasts, snacks and drinks! The house is amazingly clean and well appointed, with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom and front deck make for a pretty special place to watch the beauty of the sunset and sunrise. We loved the fact we could make the easy commute into town to explore Rotorua and all of its activities then retreat back to the lake views and serenity of the starling box. Perfect weekend away! Thanks Janina and Jim.
