We would have given 10 stars if we could. We have everything we needed here. Cooking utensils are complete and cooking space is spacious. All rooms and bathroom are equipped with heaters and the queen bed even has an electric blanket, keeping us warm the whole night. Etty is the best host ever. She helped us with our laundry and even baked us blueberry muffins for breakfast. Those muffins are hot from oven and are very tasty indeed. Rotorua lake is just at the backyard of the house. The scenery is out of the world, with a beautiful garden and black swans swimming around. We recommend Stephen & Etty's place without reservation!
