James and Victoria were lovely and gracious hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy and well-maintained lake cottage, and would absolutely stay there again. Lake Rotorua was a very short walk around the main house from our deck, and we loved seeing the beauty of the lake and the many black swans and ducks that resided there. Unfortunately, we filled our days with so many sightseeing tours that we didn't get to spend much time down by the lake!
Our bedroom was a nice size, very comfortable with a comfortable queen-size bed; the other room was a small room with bunk beds which would have been perfect for children. The bathroom was not large, but was very functional, and the shower was great. The kitchen was nice, with a dishwasher and plenty of dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc. There was also a washing machine which I used, and a clothes-drying rack.
We did enjoy our time there, and felt quite safe, and felt that our possessions were safe while we were gone during the day. That counts for a lot. Thank you, James and Victoria.
