Susan's place at Lake Okareka was a serene place to stay. Outside of the busyness and noise of Rotorua central, and up on a hill where the air was fresh. The loft had everything we needed and more. The bed was comfortable, bathroom squeaky clean. We started and ended our days watching the beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset overlooking the lake. Susan and Nigel were both very friendly and helpful with many local recommendations. We felt at home here and would certainly recommend it to anyone else! It is about 10-15 minutes from CBD but we didn't find that to be an issue at all.
