The decoration and coordination of this place lives up to the pictures, it is so cute and chic. It makes you feel cozy and stylish at the same time.
Sam and Lauren provided great instructions and kept in touch when we were running late on our road trip. Sam was there to check us in and offered to help with luggage. We chatted for a bit and he helped us a ton with dinner, bar, and sightseeing suggestions. We wouldn't have known about the Redwoods treewalk and Eat Streat without him!
The apartment area is nicely equipped. Leaving the curtains back at night gives you an amazing sunrise on the lake to wake up to in the morning (almost too bright if you sleep in too late). We definitely loved the espresso machine in the morning, and they even left us a bottle of wine!
Since we got in at night, we took a morning paddle in the kayaks and Sam was immediately there to help us out when he saw us taking the kayaks out. He brought towels to put down so our pants wouldn't get too wet. The morning was beautiful and the water was so calm, I'm so glad we got a good kayak session in before starting our day!
The place is a bit of a drive from the main part of town, but it's definitely worth it for the beautiful view of the lake and the use of the kayaks and boards. Plus, the hosts are full of suggestions for enjoying Rotorua. Sam's breakfast recommendation was on point.
