We stayed here for 3 nights and were very sorry to leave! The Lookout Retreat far exceeded our expectations, even the photo's don't do it justice. It is very tastefully furnished, lovely kitchen area with loads of space and amazing 180° views! Great to sit relaxing on the deck, overlooking the town and Lake Rotarua.
Also, the kitchen is well kitted out, and thoughtful touches of tea, coffee etc. provided too.
We can't recommend this place highly enough!
