This bach is in an exquisite, private location but does not feel too remote. We were there during periods of heavy rain and the property remained warm and dry inside--with dry firewood provided for the enclosed fireplace in the center room. There is plenty of space upstairs and downstairs for a family to spread out and read, nap, watch TV, play board games. There's a nice open kitchen with some bar-style seats at the island and an adjacent good-sized dining space with a large table that would easily seat six. Please be aware there is one toilet on the ground floor and one toilet and one shower upstairs, in separate rooms (the spa bath upstairs seems unnecessary and noisy). We found that one more toilet and shower upstairs would be ideal.
Altogether, this spacious property makes for a clean, pleasant "bach experience" in a beautiful natural location, close to all attractions at both Lake Okareka and in Rotorua.
