We had a great stay at Lynley's place.
As it was winter we were looking for somewhere with a spa pool and wood fire. This place has both - the lounge is cosy with the fire going and great range of DVD's for blobbing out in-front of.
We recommend the local "Hongi's track", just a couple of Kms down the road towards Rotorua - you walk from Rotoehu to Rotoiti through ancient Rimu forest - we took a packed lunch and ate on the beach at Rotoiti before walking back to the bach for a lovely soak in the spa pool.... really great.
The house is pretty close to the road so I did wonder if the traffic noise would bug me but the odd car and logging truck wasn't really a problem and we found the whole place very relaxing.
The house was extremely clean and tidy, with a very well set up kitchen - everything you need and more.
Altogether a refreshing 3-day break. Many thanks.
