This stay was absolutely exceptional. We have been traveling for several months as a family and our experience at Joe and Cynthia's has really been the highlight. The home is accommodating, well-decorated, exceptionally clean, and conveniently located----But on top of that, it is on a beautiful, easily accessible lake with access to kayaks, two hot tubs, an exercise room and beautiful grounds to walk. Joe also took us out on a boat tour around Lake Rotorua where we visited hot springs and an adorable town. And then on top of ALL THAT, Joe and Cynthia were accommodating, helpful, easy to reach and communicate with and just part of a really special experience. My three kids truly loved our stay there and while we are already in another lovely part of New Zealand, we miss it already. Thank you again, Joe and Cynthia!
