Our stay with Bronwyn and Terry was really enjoyable. Their house is located right next to Lake Tarawera; with its own jetty and access to the lake. The studio has views out to the lake and is very spacious, with a fully equiped kitchen, ensuite shower/toilet. Everything was very clean and thoughtful. There are some stairs to reach the studio, so if you have very large items of luggage that may be an issue. We were very appreciative of the laundry facilities. The closest shops are at Rotorua, so you will need to bring your own food supplies, however there are some basics (tea, coffee etc.) to get you started when you arrive. The studio is very private (away from the main house) however Terry was available for anything we needed and provided us with plenty of information about local sights and things to do etc. Make sure you take the time to visit the Buried Village, which is a short drive away. We felt very at home in the studio, with plenty of things to read or do if the weather was not kind. Loved our time in Lake Tarawera and would be very happy to stay with Bronwyn and Terry again.
