So comfortable! This beautifully set-up modern accommodation has cozy underfloor heating which kept the midwinter chill at bay, a functional little kitchen complete with dishwasher, gorgeous private sun-filled courtyard garden with access to the lovely rural setting. Good off-street parking and the house is easy to find. The bedroom has bunks and a roll-out, great for kids. Main bed is in an alcove of the large lounge-dining area and is very comfortable. Lake Okereka is a stroll down the road and is absolutely stunning, and you’re a short drive from terrific attractions like the Blue and Green Lakes, Buried Village and the Redwood Forest. You're a short (15 min?) drive from the busy and smelly heart of Rotorua but wake up to birdsong and fresh non-sulphurous air. Suzy gave us excellent instructions and was a terrific communicator, the cottage was supplied with fresh milk and breakfast items and we felt very welcome. We’d love to stay again and this place is just perfect for families, couples or friends, whatever the weather.
