Jessie's space is spacious and a great fit for a large family or a group of friends - the layout affords both privacy and space for people to spend time together. The location near Rotorua is central, and the direct lake access is wonderful - we enjoyed walking by the lake (there's a short path near the house) and watching the swans. While the kitchen is comfortable to cook in, it wasn't provisioned with basic equipment like a pasta colander and a coffee plunger (of course some extras, like spices, would be nice!) We also arrived in the aftermath of a seemingly rowdy party - and both the kitchen and living spaces had evidence of it, including leftover beer and an egg carton with open shells, so that was unfortunate, but seems circumstantial.
