Hamurana was a great place to stay. Only 15-20min outside of Rotorua central which gives you the flexibility to drive either way around Lake Rotorua. The lake is at the end of the road so we took the opportunity to run from the unit along the lake pathway. For those with young children there's playgrounds for the kids on the lake front. The unit is lovely and peaceful and would be a great place to stay in summertime. Personally I would find it to cold in winter as the unit doesn't get a lot of sunlight in the morning and loses the sun early in the evening. The second bedroom is a converted garage so was quite cold even though the main area has a great heat pump the warmth didn't transfer to this area of the unit. I wasn't happy with the cleanliness from the previous guests but Jerry was quick to come and sort this out and apologized.
It was fabulous that we were able to bring our small dog with us which made booking Jerry's place a good option for us. The kitchen is very well equipped which was great as I like the option to cook whilst traveling. Our son also loved the beautiful fresh eggs on arrival from Jerry's chooks.
