Fantastic holiday destination

Amazing views and outdoor areas

This property was very spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. The view and outside areas are the highlight. Plenty of shade and plenty of sun. We biked each day from the property, and the ride back up was achievable for our kids aged 11. Smaller kids might baulk at it.

Wonderful Rotorua Stay

We were a group of 7 (4 x adults and 4 x kids) who stayed 4 x nights. The location was awesome!! Wonderful view, very spacious for everyone to spread out and have their own space within the house. Large open plan living room was so nice and warm to gather in, with plenty of room for everyone to be able to take in the glorious view from the large windows. Communication with Ryan was fantastic and entry was easy upon arriving. Highly recommend this residence, especially for larger groups and will definitely stay here again should we return.

MTB Trip for six males

Overall very happy with the house, its location and the service received. The house had some maintenance issues - two plates on the induction cooktop did not work; almost every tap inside the house dripped and needs new washers; some of the light fittings didnt work or worked intermittently; and the main entry and laundry entrance are very slippery when wet. We had two falls but fortunately no injuries. The bed arrangement for six men was not ideal-especially the small bunkroom with two double bunks (kids maybe). Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

Absolutely beautiful

Absolutely beautiful home, would be helpful if there was some facecloths in bathrooms. Fridge is leaky woke up both mornings and water all over floor nothing a towel didn’t fix but dangerous if u we’re to slip in middle of night. Apart from those two things house was brilliant would definitely love to come back and stay again Thanks for having us

Great holiday weekend

This place is great if you are keen for a MTB weekend in Rotorua with a group or larger family. The property is spacious, clean, with great views over town and bikeable to the forest. Why I am writing this review though is to acknowledge how accommodating the hosts have been when COVID issues have meant we have asked to postpone coming twice. They didn't have to but were extremely co-operative and helpful. Really genuine , good people to deal with. We got there eventually - and had a great time!

The view from the house is beautiful. We loved sitting in the spa looking out over the lake. It was lovely and warm with the fire going and we had everything we needed (except maybe oven mitts). It was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.
