This place is a great deal and priced very great. It has a fantastic location and our kids loved it. They rode the bikes, used the sand toys at the lake, we walked to the park (a great one about 2 minutes walk down the sidewalk or via the lake), and we even used the little raft. It was nice seeing the sunrise and sunset over the lake each day. We were within a 20-minute drive to all the attractions we wanted to go. We travel a lot and stay at a wide range of places. It wouldn't be fair to compare this place to a place that's 4-5x as expensive. For the price this is a fantastic deal, but it's not going to be as nice a 5-star hotel. Some things were worn or didn't quite work as well. For example the shower had pretty low water pressure, the dishwasher wasn't the best we've used, one of the in-room heaters never seemed to work that great, there were some trout flies in the house (they never bother us though), etc. However, these were all minor things and for the price I'd rate this place 5-stars. I'd much rather have a whole house to ourselves (on the lake!) than a hotel. For people who are really picky they might want to keep looking (but expect to pay more). I can't imagine finding a better place for the price and Rotorua was one of our favorite places on our whole trip. Thanks Katie!
