Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Marie's place. The accomodation is situated a short drive from Rotorua town. The accomodation has a "kiwi bach" like feeling with beautiful expansive views onto the lake (which is only 50 metres from the house). We found the place comfortable, clean and tidy & really enjoyed the homely feel of the accomodation as compared to some places which can be a bit sterile. All amenities you would want are in the house. The house has a teriffic deck, the length of the property facing onto the water. Marie is kind & warm and made us feel welcome without being obtrusive. Overall we really enjoyed our short stay in Rotorua, enhanced by our base at Marie's place.
