While the accommodation itself is basic, the location, quite literally on the lake is wonderful. We had a lovely, relaxing time here, and enjoyed being away from Rotorua town (which none of us liked). Teenagers loved access to the kayaks, adults loved the views. We also stayed in winter - I'm sure it would be even nicer to stay in summer, when we would've made more use of the outside areas. Would definitely recommend staying if you want to appreciate the scenery and escape Rotovegas.
