A roomy, comfortable house with a large private garden area, within walking distance of the lake (but no lake view). Commucation with our hosts was great, and we especially appreciated being able to bring our dog. The house and furnishings are all a bit tired, but the price reflects that; we would particularly recommend this place for young families looking for space, privacy, and convenience (4 minutes drive to beautiful Blue Lake, 15 minutes to the Rotorua CBD).
