We travelled to Rotorua for the first time as a family of 4 with two grown up children and chose this property due to reviews and pictures.
The pictures don't actually do the property or location justice as its much better.
Communications were swift from the outset and we were met at the location as planned.
The property is located within the grounds of the host with plenty of parking space.
We were given access to the family pool and hot tub, which we used. There is a gym area but we didn't use that, there were also kayaks for us to use, which we did.
The property is approx. 50m away from lake Rotorua with direct access to the lake. We had an unobstructed view of the lake from our covered deck which we ate on for breakfast and evening BBQ. The view was stunning.
The property is well equipped, clean, tidy, modern in décor and plenty big enough for the 4 of us with 2 showers and 3 toilets.
Joe and Cynthia were perfect hosts and on hand to advise on where to go and what to see as well as being around to chat about life in the area. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Joe offers a speedboat trip around the lake and onwards to another lake through an adjoining channel and onto hot springs that are only accessible via the lake. Apart from the obvious fun of buzzing around on a speedboat, the view of Rotorua town from the lake, the abundance and variety of water birds and the spa like hot springs made this a highly recommended trip to enquire about.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Joe and Cynthia as hosts or this property to rent.
