Carol's place is the place to be if you're looking to rejuvenate and relax! I was sad to have had only a one night stay due to our travel schedule. I could see myself enjoying Lake Rotorua for an entire summer! The place is very warm and inviting. Perfect for a quiet getaway or a fun family retreat! It has the best of both worlds! A relaxing lake view with lots of open windows as well as fun activities like kayaking, nature walks and bikes. The main city of Rotoura is only like 10 min away or so and offers a wide range of activities. The geothermal activity and the Maori culture are unique experiences to enjoy! Carol is an excellent host! Very responsive with communications and helpful with recommendations when we needed a place to get a traditional Maori hangi dinner. Getting there was easy and check-in was a breeze. Highly recommend and hope I can come back someday and enjoy it for a longer time!
