Our stay at Karen's was incredible. From the check-in, which was very easy, to the pod itself which utilises the space inside perfectly. It's free of clutter yet has everything you need. The contents are all high quality too (hand soaps, linen etc).
As for the outside space, we loved the private area on the lake which was so peaceful. Kayak's & a BBQ are also provided which a great added touch.
It's about a 25-min drive from Roturua which has lots of great options for dining & drinks.
