We loved this stay, and wished we would have stayed longer than two nights! This stay is really in an incredible location -- it is perched out on a hill with incredible views of the lake and valley below. The fence for the cow pasture is right outside the deck, and we loved watching them graze and listening to them moo. We knew this stay was close to the mountain biking area, but it is seriously so convenient! You can access the bike trails less than 5 minutes from the house (by the tanks), and from there hop on the Forest Loop trail, which is an easy route for accessing other parts of the bike park. This is also a quick drive to restaurants, stores, and attractions (like the Redwoods forest). The stay itself was very clean and comfortable, with a nice living area, a really comfortable bed, a washer, and a clothesline. Kathryn was easy to communicate with and even let us store our bikes in the garage. If you are in Rotorua for mountain biking, don't hesitate -- book this stay!
