Etty was very welcoming on our arrival and gave us lots of tips for places to visit in the local area. The house itself had an old English feel that made us feel very at home! The most spectacular part was the garden, with a fantastic view straight over Lake Rotorua, making it one of our favourite places we stayed on our entire trip in NZ. Etty even let us use her kayak so we could have a little paddle around the lake which was great fun! Fantastic location for exploring Rotorua by car. Highly recommend!
