Lance has a pretty nice cozy place. He along with his 4yr old son Rio welcomed us to their home. I came here with my wife, parents and our 1.5 yr old baby. The place is as it looks in the pics. Very quiet area near the lake. Anything you want Lance is there to provide you with assistance. He has great insights about the local area and can offer tips. He made a lovely burrito for breakfast. Lance has a river rafting business and has a full set up for the same. I recommend the place to anyone who is wanting to live in a peaceful place away from main Rotorua CBD. I will definitely come back for a longer stay next time.
