We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a beautiful, quiet location, but not far from Rotorua, and close to the redwoods, bike trails, and other lakes. We had some weather so couldn’t take advantage of the water everyday, but the house is well suited to staying in and relaxing also. It has lots of comfortable couches, and windows with a view everywhere. It appeared to be one of the best beaches on the lake, and would be perfect for a family. When the weather was better, the kayaking was great. It also has tons of outdoor seating options. The house was super clean and well stocked, and the hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Would have loved to have been able to stay here a week, and would definitely return.
