Staying here was a highlight of our trip across the North Island. Lake Okareka was beautiful as well as the other lakes nearby and surrounding forests and hills, I would have loved to have more time here just to explore the local nature. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Rotorua and have a car, as it is a much more pleasant stay than being in the town centre.
The accommodation is the ground/garage floor of the hosts home, but it felt very private and we were not disturbed at all. The place is very spacious with a softer bed and very nice bedsheets. The kitchenette is small but adequately equipped for simple home cooking. Everything worked and it was easy to feel right at home as soon as we arrived.
