This place is an absolute gem. Location is stunning, right on the lake, with a quick scenic drive to all the hiking, geothermal parks, redwoods, dining in Rotorua, etc. Susan is an incredibly kind and welcoming host, who even provided homemade granola for breakfast and brought us extra blankets when we were sitting on the beach on a chilly night. Space is a bit bigger than I expected; plenty of room for 2 people to spread out a bit and really stretch your legs from travel. Lake breezes drift in from the big windows. Perfect.
