The view of the lake is absolutely stunning - we loved sitting out on the deck and watching the swans, ducks, rowers, etc. The location is very convenient for Skyline (5 minutes) and the city centre(5-10 minutes) - not sure we would be comfortable walking around there at night, but we were pleased to be able to lock the gate.
The house is beautifully presented and very clean. The layout downstairs is a little unusual but works for the purpose we needed it for.
Provisions are minimal, so if you plan to cook you need to bring everything.
Beds were very sumptuous and comfortable, nice to have electric blankets as well. Showers were lovely and the kitchen was quite well equipped. The TV worked well and our kids enjoyed Netflix.
Overall, we would recommend staying here for your Rotorua getaway, if not for anything else, for the amazing view.
