Amazing Views
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Awesome views of Rotorua and the lake. Only marred by rain which meant the neighbour's sheep or alpacas weren't out and also about half of the cutlery and crockery wasn't clean (remnants of food).

Fantastic property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this extremely well-maintained home. The house was immaculate, the kitchen was terrific, the vistas were breathtaking, and the ping pong was a nice unexpected bonus. It was a great base to explore the many activities of Rotorua.

Easy to find and lovely clean house on arrival. Enough space for us to spread out and relax. The ping pong table was a big hit with our teens.

Great place. Great view. Really enjoyed the spa. Very relaxing after my son ran the marathon. Alpaca and deer (wild!?) Wandering around was really nice as well.

Beautiful home and incredible views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The views are stunning! We LOVED the alpacas and all the sheep! They are the perfect addition to the property! We really enjoyed the hot tub as well! There wasn’t anything I didn’t like! It was just the perfect home for our stay! We were pleased to see that there was an additional bathroom! We thought it was just one bathroom which for four people was a bit scary. There was only one shower, but having an extra toilet was perfect! I guess it’s technically 1.5 bath, but it was great for us! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Beautiful home for a holiday. Perfect spot. Extremely relaxing.
We stayed for three nights, enjoying every minute of this home. The beds were extremely comfortable. The view was breathtaking. The spa was a great way to end the day. It was clean and more than what we expected. We all felt at home and comfortable. Thank you for having us we will be back again.

Great location and views, well appointed modern home with everything you need, would stay there again, would have given a perfect score if the oven was clean, and the neighbours drive not so close to the house.

Fabulous stay in a stunning home in a gorgeous location. Easy to find but private setting.
My partner, my two children and I stayed and absolutely loved this property. We often use bookabachs and this has been one of our fav places. And the alpacas were so adorable! The spa at night is epic as If it’s a clear night you can look up at the stars. The property is so close to town (not even a 10 min drive) but yet when your there you feel like your on a private rural property... simply awesome! We will definitely stay again 🙂

Perfect spot for our family getaway, great layout, unbeatable views and a table tennis table that kept us all amused for hours! The spa was great (and spotless) after our mountain biking. Best of all we were close to town and all the attractions without the feeling of being in the hustle of town.

Can’t say enough about the view and the house. It is so comfortable and enjoyable. We had a very pleasant stay and found everything we needed. Biggest problem is that it makes you want to just stay at home instead of exploring!
