Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Stayed at kristins place with my parents (mid 60s), my husband and toddler (4 years old). The house was large enough to accommodate everybody with plenty of space. The location is close to shops and all the major Rotorua activities seem to be within a 30 drive. The house has everything you could need, lake is beautiful and we all enjoyed using the kayaks. Area is very quiet and peaceful. Kristen was friendly and great to deal with, entry was very straightforward.

We absolutely loved staying at The Love Shack, especially sitting down by the waterfront with a cool drink. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. If you like peace & quiet this is definitely the place for you. The cafe at the general store was great also.

Cottage in Okere Falls
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsTHE LAKE HOUSE - Private with jetty and boat shed
What a fabulous bach right on the river! The accommodation is clean, bright, and compact. There is a large balcony perfect for eating out or drinks at sunset. We didn't get a chance to use the kayaks as our stay was short but a swim in the river just below the house was lovely. The water rafting and zipline businesses are close by, right next door to the Okere Falls Store and are highly recommended as is the store - great beer and food. Alec is a great host and communicates well. We had a friendly chat with him when we were leaving. I would book this little gem again without hesitation.
