Such a lovely little space, convenient to all tourist attractions an main town. Easy to find and get in to. Great parking space as well. The area was quiet with lovely neighbour right next door.

Tarawera holiday haven, spa pool & close to lake

RachelRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Kearu’s Nest. The beds were so comfortable, and the linen was beautiful. After a magical day on the lake, it was amazing to come home to an outdoor fire and relax in the spa. The birdlife was incredible, and the tūī birdsong made it even more special. With just a short walk to the lake, we made the most of early morning swims. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Ange and Dave!

Rough Meadows - MTB Haven & Good Vibes Retreat

JamesRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The cottage is private, spacious and homey, over looking a pretty valley. We felt good being there and sad to leave. The location is 30 minutes or less from Rotorua and maybe 50 minutes from Huka falls. Watching the Milky Way from the hot tub was a special treat!

Rotorua Lakes Cottage

MargotRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
If you're looking for the ideal location to experience all that Rotorua has to offer, look no further! This beautiful house, with its lovely lake views, is conveniently situated within a short drive of the Redwood Forest, the town center, geothermal walks, and relaxing spa experiences. Marlene and Jason were very responsive and super helpful. Plus, having a dog-friendly space with a great hill for exploring (and amazing views!) was a huge bonus. We highly recommend this property!

Welcome to Blackwood Cottage! Pets welcome!

HelenRating, 5 stars27 months ago
Really great cottage in amazing surroundings. It was fabulous to be able to take the dog and wander around the farm and see the animals. The cottage is comfortable and functionable rather than luxurious. This suited exactly what I was looking for. Very nicely located near the airport and supermarket, while still a short drive to town and the MTB park.

The Fidgety Fantail Holiday Cottage

JackieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

The Cheeky Tui Holiday House

LornaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Great old school batch that felt very chill. Awesome to get to use the kayaks and lovely walks nearby. Added bonus was the toy box and the box of duplo which made the stay so much easier with the kids!

Rotoiti Lakeside Cottages

MartaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Dan's place is just a piece of paradise! Right in front of the lake, with private jetty and private ramp, away from the main road, totally safe for children. Highly recommend! Dan is very responsive and welcoming, makes you feel like home. Looking forward to return again!

The Shack - Boatshed and Bach

LilyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Staying at Lucy's was like being in a dream. The perfect, idyllic, lakeside Kiwi-bach, this place matches all descriptions and photos. This place has everything - from a cozy fireplace, to kayaks to explore the lake and a modern bathroom, our family absolutely enjoyed staying here. There was a lot to do and keep yourself entertained with, we didn't struggle with having no wifi. The location is great, only 30 minutes to Rotorua and a lot of places to sightsee on the way there. The only downside of this place is that since it's close to the road there is some traffic noise, especially when big trucks go by. It wasn't an issue for us when staying there since we're city dwellers and accompanied to traffic noise, but if you're a light sleeper definitely bring ear plugs.

We had a wonderful stay, the place was peaceful, clean, and just what we needed to unwind. Rebecca is a fantastic host, very responsive and thoughtful. We really appreciated the little touches (especially the chocolate!). Would definitely recommend and love to return.
