A colleague and I stayed here for a confernece and we didn't want to leave! The house is amazing, you're literally a few metres from the lake (kayaks included). So very peaceful and quiet and Rob goes the extra mile with thoughtful little tocuhes and local info. He'd actually printed out our conference agenda for us! It was starting to get cold when we were in Roturoa but Robs place has great heating. Fluffy bathrobes, extra beach towels, Netflix on a massive TV and sun beds outside to make the most of the gorgeous view of the lake. Block out curtains, a kitchen full of literally everything, easy check in.
I was so happy we didn't stay in town. It's only a 5 minute drive to city centre.
